Feature Addition: NumberMyImage

Description

Implement a utility to convert a black and white bitmap image into a numerical representation and then encode that number in base64 format.

Requirements

1. Input: Accept an image file as input.

   • If the input image is not in bitmap format, convert it to bitmap.

2. Pixel-to-Number Mapping:

   • Assign 0 to black pixels and 1 to white pixels in the bitmap.
   • Read the bitmap pixel by pixel and construct a binary string representing the image.

3. Conversion to Base64:

   • Convert the binary string obtained from the image into its decimal equivalent.
   • Encode the decimal number to base64 format.

4. Output:

   • Print or save the base64 string representing the image.

5. Error Handling:

   • Handle invalid inputs gracefully (e.g., non-image files or unsupported formats).
   • Provide informative error messages to users.

Additional Notes

• Ensure the implementation is efficient for large images.
• Use appropriate Python libraries for image processing (e.g., Pillow) and base64 encoding.
• Include detailed comments and logs for clarity and debugging purposes.

Acceptance Criteria

• The utility correctly converts any valid black and white image to its corresponding base64 representation.
• Handles edge cases such as completely black/white images or non-bitmap inputs.
• Outputs a clear and concise result.
