Class ConvolveOp

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.awt.image.ConvolveOp
All Implemented Interfaces:
BufferedImageOp, RasterOp

public class ConvolveOp
extends Object
implements BufferedImageOp, RasterOp

This class implements a convolution from the source to the destination. Convolution using a convolution kernel is a spatial operation that computes the output pixel from an input pixel by multiplying the kernel with the surround of the input pixel. This allows the output pixel to be affected by the immediate neighborhood in a way that can be mathematically specified with a kernel.

This class operates with BufferedImage data in which color components are premultiplied with the alpha component. If the Source BufferedImage has an alpha component, and the color components are not premultiplied with the alpha component, then the data are premultiplied before being convolved. If the Destination has color components which are not premultiplied, then alpha is divided out before storing into the Destination (if alpha is 0, the color components are set to 0). If the Destination has no alpha component, then the resulting alpha is discarded after first dividing it out of the color components.

Rasters are treated as having no alpha channel. If the above treatment of the alpha channel in BufferedImages is not desired, it may be avoided by getting the Raster of a source BufferedImage and using the filter method of this class which works with Rasters.

If a RenderingHints object is specified in the constructor, the color rendering hint and the dithering hint may be used when color conversion is required.

Note that the Source and the Destination may not be the same object.

ConvolveOp

public ConvolveOp(Kernel kernel,
                  int edgeCondition,
                  RenderingHints hints)
Constructs a ConvolveOp given a Kernel, an edge condition, and a RenderingHints object (which may be null).

Parameters:
kernel - the specified Kernel
edgeCondition - the specified edge condition
hints - the specified RenderingHints object
See Also:
Kernel, EDGE_NO_OP, EDGE_ZERO_FILL, RenderingHints

ConvolveOp

public ConvolveOp(Kernel kernel)
Constructs a ConvolveOp given a Kernel. The edge condition will be EDGE_ZERO_FILL.

Parameters:
kernel - the specified Kernel
See Also:
Kernel, EDGE_ZERO_FILL
Method Detail

getEdgeCondition

public int getEdgeCondition()
Returns the edge condition.

Returns:
the edge condition of this ConvolveOp.
See Also:
EDGE_NO_OP, EDGE_ZERO_FILL

getKernel

public final Kernel getKernel()
Returns the Kernel.

Returns:
the Kernel of this ConvolveOp.

filter

public final BufferedImage filter(BufferedImage src,
                                  BufferedImage dst)
Performs a convolution on BufferedImages. Each component of the source image will be convolved (including the alpha component, if present). If the color model in the source image is not the same as that in the destination image, the pixels will be converted in the destination. If the destination image is null, a BufferedImage will be created with the source ColorModel. The IllegalArgumentException may be thrown if the source is the same as the destination.

Specified by:
filter in interface BufferedImageOp
Parameters:
src - the source BufferedImage to filter
dst - the destination BufferedImage for the filtered src
Returns:
the filtered BufferedImage
Throws:
NullPointerException - if src is null
IllegalArgumentException - if src equals dst
ImagingOpException - if src cannot be filtered

filter

public final WritableRaster filter(Raster src,
                                   WritableRaster dst)
Performs a convolution on Rasters. Each band of the source Raster will be convolved. The source and destination must have the same number of bands. If the destination Raster is null, a new Raster will be created. The IllegalArgumentException may be thrown if the source is the same as the destination.

Specified by:
filter in interface RasterOp
Parameters:
src - the source Raster to filter
dst - the destination WritableRaster for the filtered src
Returns:
the filtered WritableRaster
Throws:
NullPointerException - if src is null
ImagingOpException - if src and dst do not have the same number of bands
ImagingOpException - if src cannot be filtered
IllegalArgumentException - if src equals dst

createCompatibleDestImage

public BufferedImage createCompatibleDestImage(BufferedImage src,
                                               ColorModel destCM)
Creates a zeroed destination image with the correct size and number of bands. If destCM is null, an appropriate ColorModel will be used.

a destination BufferedImage with the correct size and number of bands.

a WritableRaster that is compatible with src

getBounds2D

Returns:
The Rectangle2D representing the destination image's bounding box.

getBounds2D

public final Rectangle2D getBounds2D(Raster src)
