Code reference

There's only one relevant method to be called:

generateSH(data, width, height, onComplete, onProgress, options)

• data: A Float32Array with packed RGB data or a Uint8ClampedArray containing packed RGBA data, containing the panorama image.
• width: The width of the image contained in data.
• height: The height of the image contained in data.
• onComplete: A function called when the generation is complete. An array of RGB values will be passed, one for each SH coefficient.
• onProgress (optional): Called with a value from 0 - 1.
• options (optional): An object containing options for generations (irradiance).

Here's an example:

import { decodeRGBE } from "@derschmale/io-rgbe";
import { generateSH } from "@derschmale/spherical-harmonizer"; 


function convert(arrayBuffer) {
    const hdr = decodeRGBE(new DataView(arrayBuffer));
    generateSH(hdr.data, hdr.width, hdr.height, onComplete);
}

function onComplete(sh)
{
    // do something with sh coefficients
}

const request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("GET", "/panorama.hdr", true);
request.responseType = "arraybuffer";
request.onload = _ => {
    const arrayBuffer = request.response; // Note: not oReq.responseText
    if (arrayBuffer)
        convert(arrayBuffer);
};

request.send(null);

Building

Building the code is simples:

npm install
npm run build
