What is ImageData?

The ImageData interface represents the underlying pixel data of an area of a <canvas> element. It is created using the ImageData() constructor or creator methods on the CanvasRenderingContext2D object associated with a canvas: createImageData() and getImageData() .
Similarly, it is asked, which method returns an object that contains image data of a specific ImageData object?
The ImageData data property is used to return an object that contains image data of the specified ImageData object.
Keeping this in consideration, how do I get data from canvas?
To get the image data for each pixel of a rectangular area on the canvas, we can get the image data object with the getImageData() method of the canvas context and then access the pixel data from the data property. Each pixel in the image data contains four components, a red, green, blue, and alpha component.
The procedure for extraction is :
- import the Image module of PIL into the shell: >>>from PIL import Image.
- create an image object and open the image for reading mode: >>>im = Image.open('myfile.png', ' r')
- we use a function of Image module called getdata() to extract the pixel values.
