In the Chapter 6: Supplements section we discussed Java 2D graphics drawing techniques. In this supplement seciton we introduce the imaging tools and techniques in Java 2D, which offers much more sophisticated capabilities than the standard java.awt packages such as the Image class..

Our discussion of Java 2D API imaging includes the following topics:

• BufferedImage is a concrete subclass of the abstract Image subclass. It offers far more sophisticated and elaborate features than Image.
  
  
• Creating, Saving, & Reading Images - you can create instances of BufferedImage and then with the ImageIO class you can also save them to files in several optional image formats such as JPEG and PNG. Similarly, you can read image files in these formats.
  
  
• Pixels & BufferedImage - accessing the pixels of a BufferedImage, modifying them and creating new images and animations from them.
  • Demo 1
  • Demo 2
    
    
• Filtering - modify a source image and produce an output image via the following filters:
  • Convolution - scan a kernel over an image to do edge detection, noise removal, etc.
    • Demo
  • Affine Transforms - apply translation, rotation, shearing, etc to images.
    • Demo
  • Lookup Tables - these offer an easy way to apply complex pixel modifications
    • Demo1
    • Demo 2
  • Rescaling - apply scaling and offset factors to the pixel color component values.
    • Demo
  • Color Conversion - convert from one color space to another such as color to gray scale.
    • Demo
  • Custom Filter - devise other types of filters by implementing the BufferedImageOp interface.
    • Demo
