Loading an raw image to the program and get the RGB value from each pixel in C

Question

Hello, I want to read the RGB values for each pixel from a raw image. Can someone tell me how to achieve this? Thanks for help!

the format of my raw image is .CR2 which is taken from camera.

Answer 1

It's non-trivial, though libraw is a good start toward making it fairly easy.

Answer 2

I believe you can find documentation on the CR2 file format here. Note that a converter (and C source) is provided on that page as well.

You should be able to re-purpose the parsing code to emit an array of pixels.
