Hi, I want to do a gaussian blur on my image and I found some code online to do this but I am confused with some aspects of this method.
Here is the method:
* createGreenfootImageFromBI() is just a method I have in my class to convert BufferedImage to GrennfootImage
Anyway, my problem is I don't understand what the second and third parameter (filter and filterWidth) are in this method are. I am trying to call this method on my image (which I have as a BufferedImage) but what do I enter for the other two parameters? My image is 800 x 600.
public static GreenfootImage blur(BufferedImage image, int[] filter, int filterWidth) {
if (filter.length % filterWidth != 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("filter contains a incomplete row");
}
final int width = image.getWidth();
final int height = image.getHeight();
final int sum = IntStream.of(filter).sum();
int[] input = image.getRGB(0, 0, width, height, null, 0, width);
int[] output = new int[input.length];
final int pixelIndexOffset = width - filterWidth;
final int centerOffsetX = filterWidth / 2;
final int centerOffsetY = filter.length / filterWidth / 2;
// apply filter
for (int h = height - filter.length / filterWidth + 1, w = width - filterWidth + 1, y = 0; y < h; y++) {
for (int x = 0; x < w; x++) {
int r = 0;
int g = 0;
int b = 0;
for (int filterIndex = 0, pixelIndex = y * width + x;
filterIndex < filter.length;
pixelIndex += pixelIndexOffset) {
for (int fx = 0; fx < filterWidth; fx++, pixelIndex++, filterIndex++) {
int col = input[pixelIndex];
int factor = filter[filterIndex];
// sum up color channels seperately
r += ((col >>> 16) & 0xFF) * factor;
g += ((col >>> 8) & 0xFF) * factor;
b += (col & 0xFF) * factor;
}
}
r /= sum;
g /= sum;
b /= sum;
// combine channels with full opacity
output[x + centerOffsetX + (y + centerOffsetY) * width] = (r << 16) | (g << 8) | b | 0xFF000000;
}
}
BufferedImage result = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
result.setRGB(0, 0, width, height, output, 0, width);
return createGreenfootImageFromBI(result);
}
