- Using Rasters for Image Processing, Part 1 by Anghel Leonard - [Clicks: 38]
Many modern image technologies are based on raster concept - things like televisions, photo cameras, or printers. They provide superior image control, allowing you to process an entire image or only a piece of it, and full control over pixel's colors. You're free to develop new image filters, or allow images to mix. Basically, having a raster is like having a "playground" because you are free to try whatever you want to do with the image. This article discusses rasters from the Java perspective. You'll find out what the components of a raster are in Java and how to exploit them in an application. You'll learn how to store, extract, and manipulate image samples, and then learn how how to extract a color band and how to create a zoom effect.

Part 1 in this series on learning to use the Java 2D API discussed how the Java 2D graphics engine -- represented by the java.awt.Graphics2D class -- takes graphics primitive classes such as shapes, text, and images and renders them to an output device, such as a screen or a printer. This article discusses how to use the Java 2D API libraries to manipulate and display images.

In this article, I'll revisit the movie component, re-implementing it using QuickTime for Java (QTJ). QTJ provides an object-based Java layer over the QuickTime API, making it possible to play, edit, and create QuickTime movies; capture audio and video; and perform 2D and 3D animations. QuickTime is available for the Mac and Windows. Details about QTJ's installation, documentation, and examples can be found at developer.apple.com/quicktime/qtjava.

In this PDF excerpt from QuickTime for Java: A Developer's Notebook, Chris Adamson shows how to write such a well-behaved application. Chapter 4: Working with Components introduces the type/subtype identification scheme of components and shows how to export a QuickTime movie to a canned format, and then to any format discovered at runtime. It shows how to import and export graphics, and then provides a utility for showing all installed components.
