python处理二进制文件_在python中显示二进制文件中的数据

I have 2000 images stored as single binary file "file.dat" and a head of 512 bytes to this file. Format of every image is 512*512*2 bytes (unsigned int 16). My task is to visualize all this images as video. How can I do this in python? My problem is starting from reading the sequence of images. I'm newbie in python.

Numpy is quite handy for reading in simple binary file formats.

From the sound of it, you have a large binary file of uin16's that you want to read into a 3D array and visualize. We don't have to load it all into memory, but for this example, we will.

Here's a basic idea of what the code would look like:

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def main():

data = read_data('test.dat', 512, 512)

visualize(data)

def read_data(filename, width, height):

with open(filename, 'r') as infile:

# Skip the header

infile.seek(512)

data = np.fromfile(infile, dtype=np.uint16)

# Reshape the data into a 3D array. (-1 is a placeholder for however many

# images are in the file... E.g. 2000)

return data.reshape((width, height, -1))

def visualize(data):

# There are better ways to do this, but let's keep it simple

plt.ion()

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

im = ax.imshow(data[:,:,0], cmap=plt.cm.gray)

for i in xrange(data.shape[-1]):

image = data[:,:,i]

im.set(data=image, clim=[image.min(), image.max()])

fig.canvas.draw()

main()
