The problem:
You are to search a bitmap in RGB format and count the number of pixels which match a set of colors. The bitmap will be 1024 by 1024 pixels for the purposes of explaining this problem. The set of colors will comprise 64 entries.
Input:
You shall process a file named CS546.bmp located in the C:\Temp directory. Note that your program will be tested with different sized bit maps. You will also receive a file containing the 64 colors, formatted as three integer values in the range of 0 to 255 (for red, green, and blue), along with a color name. The color name is a string which may contain spaces and apostrophes. For example:
79 105 198 Indigo
95 167 119 Forest Green
0 204 204 Robin's Egg Blue
This file will be named Colors64.txt and it will be located in the C:\Temp directory. You should assume that the number of colors in the file may vary. You should reject any input which has a negative value, or a value greater than 255 and display an appropriate message.
Processing:
1) Open the input files. End the program execution if either open fails. Initialize CPU time and storage usage measurements.
2.) Read the color file and construct an appropriate container. (For example, an array of structures would be appropriate here. CS532 students may substitute a more sophisticated method.) Initialize the color array (or whatever technique is used) with the contents of the color file. Include an integer count initialized to zero for each entry.
Read the bitmap array. For each pixel in the bitmap, determine if it matches one of the color entries. Maintain a count of the comparisons, matching or not. If it does, add one to the count associated with that entry. If it does not match any entries in the table, add one to a separate count of unmatched color entries.
Output
When all pixels in the bitmap have been evaluated, print out the color name and count of matches from the color array (or whatever other data structure you have chosen). Print the count of comparisons.
