var img = new Image();
var imageBitmap;
var doneLoading = false;
let canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = 640;
canvas.height = 480;
let canvas2 = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas2.width = 640;
canvas2.height = 480;

var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var ctx2 = canvas2.getContext('2d');

img.addEventListener('load', function() {
  Promise.all([
    createImageBitmap(img)
  ]).then(function(images) {
  imageBitmap = images[0];
  doneLoading = true;
}, false);
});
