Threshold Image Java Code
Here is the code, that I wrote to threshold the image at required level. Thresholding image is very easy. At first you have to grab pixel of each red, green and blue and then sum then together then find the average. Check that against some threshold. That is all.
So, talking politely. These are the basic pseudocode.
1. Start set THRESHOLD = 30
red = getRedPixelFromImage(row,column)green = getGreenPixelFromImage(row,column)
blue = getBluePixelFromImage(row,column)
2. avg = (red+green+blue)/3
3. if(avg<THRESHOLD)
paint white
else
paint black.
4. end
I have used the above psuedocode. It works for me and have tested the result with the threshold of Adobe Photoshop and found its working great.
Below is the main code for Image Thresholding.
public static BufferedImage Threshold(BufferedImage img,int requiredThresholdValue) {
int height = img.getHeight();
int width = img.getWidth();
BufferedImage finalThresholdImage = new BufferedImage(width,height,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB) ;
int red = 0;
int green = 0;
int blue = 0;
for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
try {
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
int color = img.getRGB(x, y);
red = ImageOperations.getRed(color);
green = ImageOperations.getGreen(color);
blue = ImageOperations.getBlue(color);
if((red+green+green)/3 < (int) (requiredThresholdValue)) {
finalThresholdImage.setRGB(x,y,ImageOperations.mixColor(0, 0,0));
}
else {
finalThresholdImage.setRGB(x,y,ImageOperations.mixColor(255, 255,255));
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.getMessage();
}
}
return finalThresholdImage;
}
red = ImageOperations.getRed(color);
green = ImageOperations.getGreen(color);
blue = ImageOperations.getBlue(color);
These are the line that gets the red, green and blue pixels. ImageOperations is the name of class and getRed(color) is the method inside that class. Actually these are the classes that I have been using in my project. I thought it might be handy for you and have published it here.
