Processing Image Pixels using Java, Getting Started

If you are searching for instructions on how to use the Java Advanced Imaging, you are certainly welcome to be here.

It is about how to use Java to create special effects with images by directly manipulating the pixels in the images.

The purpose of here is to get right down in the mud and to learn how to implement many of the algorithms that are commonly used to create special effects with images by working directly with the pixels.

It deals with two main aspects ie

• Manipulate and modify the pixels that belong to an image

• Display the modified image along with the original image for easy comparison in a before and after sense.

What exactly this programme does is

• Extracts the pixels from an image file

• Converts the pixel data to type int

• Stores the pixel data in a three-dimensional array of type int that is well suited for processing

• Passes the three-dimensional array object's reference to an image-processing program

• Receives back a reference to a three-dimensional array object containing modified pixel data

• Displays the original image and the modified image in a stacked display

• Makes it possible for the user to provide new input data to the image-processing program, invoke the image-processing program again, and create a new display showing the newly-modified image along with the original image.

Its all about how to modifie the image by changing the pixel, processing image pixel using Java is one of the easy ways of changing the image quality or it can be said as to change the complete image structure.
