In this segment, you’ll implement three image processing algorithms in Swift: grayscale conversion, blur effect, and brightness adjustment. You’ll work directly with raw pixel data, learning how to manipulate individual color channels to create visual effects.

Image processing algorithms operate on pixel arrays, transforming color values according to mathematical formulas. Swift’s type safety and array handling make it well-suited for this kind of algorithmic work.

Understanding the ImageProcessor Structure

Your Starter project already has ImageProcessor.swift with TODO stubs for three filter functions. You’ll implement each filter function to process RGBA pixel data.

Implementing the Grayscale Filter

The grayscale filter converts color images to black and white by calculating a weighted average of the RGB channels.

Implementing the Blur Filter

The blur filter creates a soft-focus effect by averaging each pixel with its surrounding neighbors. This is called a box blur.

Implementing Brightness Adjustment

The brightness filter adds or subtracts a value from each RGB channel, making the image lighter or darker.
