Using a Web Worker to get Image Data (width, height and pixel data), cross browser












0















I'm creating a web worker to fetch an image, and then return some metadata (width, height, and the average darkness of the image, calculated from image pixel data).



So far I have a worker which works to get the image width and height, however it only works in Chrome, as it relies on createImageBitmap(). I am also unable as far as I can see to access pixel data values.



self.onmessage = (e) => {
const { url, key } = e.data;

fetch(url, {
method: 'GET',
mode: 'cors',
cache: 'default'
}).then(response => {
return response.blob();
}).then(async (blob) => {
const image = await self.createImageBitmap(blob);
self.postMessage({ url, key, metadata: {
width: image.width,
height: image.height,
aspectRatio: image.width / image.height,
}});
image.close();
});
}


Is there a way which this can be achieved without passing the image back to the main thread to get the image data.
