Convert Colored Images to Black And white in java

Hi,

Sometime you want to convert colored images to black and white.

Here i am giving you the simple method to do so.

Just see below.

//example for coverting colored image to black and white

import java.awt.image.*;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

import java.io.*;

import java.awt.*;

class BlackAndWhite

{

          public static void main(String asr[])

          {

                   try

                   {

                             //colored image path

                             BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new  

                                                File("D:\\MyProgram\\output.jpg"));

                             //getting width and height of image

                             double image_width = image.getWidth();

                             double image_height = image.getHeight();

                             BufferedImage bimg = null;

                             BufferedImage img = image;

                             //drawing a new image      

                             bimg = new BufferedImage((int)image_width, (int)image_height,

                                                                    BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_GRAY);

                             Graphics2D gg = bimg.createGraphics();

                             gg.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.getWidth(null), img.getHeight(null), null);

                             //saving black and white image onto drive

                             String temp = "blackAndwhite.jpeg";

                             File fi = new File("D:\\My Program\\" + temp);

                             ImageIO.write(bimg, "jpg", fi);

                   }

                   catch (Exception e)

                   {

                             System.out.println(e);

                   }

          }

}

Converting Image to BufferedImage in JAVA

Hi,

While working on some project i was bound in some situation.....

1. For opening image i have to use java.awt.Image class.
   
2. For saving drawn image to jpg i have to use ImageIo class.
3. So for passing ImageIO.write() method i need image object to bufferedImage object.

It is not only one situation when you need this, Sometime when reading

image java.awt.Image class is very useful for opening images from

particular path.

So their are number of tricks to do so.

I am posting here my favorite way of conversion.

Just go through it.

First i loaded image in Image object via Toolkit class.

Then i created a blank BufferedImage object of same dimension.

Then i just draw Image object into BufferedImage object.

Now your BufferedImage object consist the same image.

class Convert

{

public static void main(String as[])

{

////opening image in Image Object

Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("test.jpeg");

////taking dimension of image

int width = img.getWidth(null);

int height = img.getHeight(null);

////creating a bufferedImage object of same dimension as image

BufferedImage bimg = new BufferedImage(width,height,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);

////taking graphics object from BufferedImage

Graphics2D gg = bimg.createGraphics();

////drawing Image objects image into graphics of buffered image object

gg.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.getWidth(null), img.getHeight(null), null);

///disposing graphics.

gg.dispose();

}

}

Highlight a selected portion of image in JAVA

Hi,

Here i am crerating a small application which just highlight a

area over image.

I am highlight a rectangular area.You can change as you required.

I am setting a color(255,255,0) for highlight.

You can change it according to your requrement.

Also if you want to change beta value of highlight area then change

the value of transparancy variable.

See the below screenshot where i am highlighted in yellow shed with

transparency value 80.

class HighlightImage

{

{

try

{

////pass image file path open for drawing

BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("1.jpg"));

////taking graphics from image

Graphics g = image.getGraphics();

////just change the transparency value for changing beta values of image

int transparency = 50;

/////drawing string on graphics of opened image

g.drawString("We are highlighting a selected portion of image", 10, 10);

Color color = new Color(255, 255, 0, 255 * transparency / 100);

g.setColor(color);

g.fillRect(30, 30, 100, 100);

////saving image by name output.jpg

ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", new File("output.jpg"));

}

catch (Exception e)

{

System.out.println(e);

}

Slide Show in java

Hi,

I am posting here a slide show demo in java.

Just change the path of folder containing images.

It is same as xp slide demo.You can just navigate all images by

next and previous button.

You have to just set the path containing lots of images in folder.

For the source code follow the link below

Drawing String on image

Hi,

Suppose you want to edit any image and want to write some text permanently

on image.

Here i posting code for do so.

It opens a image name test.jpg and write a text and then save on same place with name "output.jpg".

You just change the name of files as you required.

For source code see below

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.image.*;

import javax.imageio.*;

class DrawString

{

public static void main(String a[])

{

try

{

////pass image file path open for drawing

BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("test.JPEG"));

////taking graphics from image

Graphics g = image.getGraphics();

/////drawing string on graphics of opened image

g.drawString("I am a string drawn on image pixel", 10, image.getHeight() - 10);

////saving image by name output.jpg

ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", new File("output.jpg"));

}

catch (Exception e)

{

System.out.println(e);

}

}
