Rosyna KellerI have a bunch of raw pixel image dumps (they’re just pixel values, usually RGBA). Is there a macOS app that can not only open them but guess the image dimensions so I don’t have to manually know the dimensions?
ePirat@rosyna How could it guess that with just continuous pixel values? Or do you want something with a slider for the stride that you just slide till it looks right?
Karsten@_karsten_ @ePirat Yeah, this is something an algorithm is good at. I must hang my head in shame as I’m currently using Claude Opus 4.6 to built a small algorithm for this.
I feed it an image it got wrong, it re-analyzes to make it appear correct. Makes sure all other correct images are still correct and updates the algorithm.
I was just hoping someone had already done this with an actual algorithm.
It’s a lot of division and adjacent pixel checking. Just math. Lots of math.
@rosyna @ePirat if you know the number of pixels I would say you only end up with a couple of pairs that are actual factors. This list is limited a lot by the possible aspect ratios. Once you are down to a couple of pairs, it’s just a question of detecting which of the sizes might be the most likely.
I guess that limits the use of math a lot, too

Paul McGrane@_karsten_ @ePirat @rosyna hey ChatGPT convert these pixels into regular PNG files. I almost want to barf, but this might be what it's for!
