仅使用API​​将灰度图像绘制到另一个BufferedImage的alpha波段

标签: java graphics bufferedimage alpha-transparency compositing

我有两个BufferedImages:一个是TYPE_INT_ARGB,另一个是TYPE_BYTE_GRAY。如何使用仅使用API​​替换灰度图像的整个彩色图像的alpha波段,而不会干扰RGB值?

class TrackingAdapter(var list: MutableList<TrackingModel>, var context: Context) :
    RecyclerView.Adapter<TrackingAdapter.viewHolder>() {

private var onclick : onItemClick? = null

override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup?, viewType: Int): viewHolder {
    val binding : ItemTrackingDataBinding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(
            LayoutInflater.from(context),R.layout.item_tracking_data,parent,false)
    return viewHolder(binding)
}

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: viewHolder?, position: Int) {
    val model = list[position]
    holder!!.bind(model)
}

override fun getItemCount(): Int = list.size

inner class viewHolder(private var binding: ItemTrackingDataBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root){

    init {
        binding.vLayoutTracking.setOnClickListener({
            val position = adapterPosition
            onclick!!.onClickItem(list[position])
        })
    }

    fun bind(model: TrackingModel){
        binding.vName.text = model.nama
        binding.vNoapp.text = model.no_kontrak
        binding.vNomsn.text = model.no_mesin
        binding.vNopol.text = model.no_polisi
        binding.vStatus.text = model.status
        binding.executePendingBindings()
    }
}

fun setOnClick (onItemClick: onItemClick){
    this.onclick = onItemClick
}

interface onItemClick{
    fun onClickItem(model: TrackingModel)
}

我可以通过屏蔽和复制字节来手动完成:

override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup?, viewType: Int): viewHolder {
    val binding : ItemTrackingDataBinding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(
            LayoutInflater.from(context),R.layout.item_tracking_data,parent,false)
    return viewHolder(binding)
}

然而,API方式是什么?

更新#1 样本图像:输入灰度alpha,输入颜色cat和带孔的输出颜色cat。 grayscale of donut color cat merge result

生成的图像在输出颜色的alpha中具有灰度。在照片编辑器中查看生成的图像,您将看到中间的孔实际上是透明的。

final int width = 200;
final int height = 200;

final BufferedImage colorImg = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
final BufferedImage grayscaleImg = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_GRAY);
Graphics2D g = colorImg.createGraphics();
// flip some mystical switches
// g.drawImage( grayscaleImg into colorImg's alpha band )
g.dispose();

为了重申我的原始目标,Java API实现上述代码的方式是什么?

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

啊,你想用面具剪掉一部分图像,不好。

简单的解决方案 - 使用基于alpha的掩码开始。但我认为你没有这个选择。我确实尝试过找到一个可能做到这一点的解决方案,而是偶然发现了this example

哪个能够产生你似乎正在寻找的结果

Cutout

(蓝色是面板​​的背景颜色)

核心功能来做......

public void applyGrayscaleMaskToAlpha(BufferedImage image, BufferedImage mask) {
    int width = image.getWidth();
    int height = image.getHeight();

    int[] imagePixels = image.getRGB(0, 0, width, height, null, 0, width);
    int[] maskPixels = mask.getRGB(0, 0, width, height, null, 0, width);

    for (int i = 0; i < imagePixels.length; i++) {
        int color = imagePixels[i] & 0x00ffffff; // Mask preexisting alpha
        int alpha = maskPixels[i] << 24; // Shift blue to alpha
        imagePixels[i] = color | alpha;
    }

    image.setRGB(0, 0, width, height, imagePixels, 0, width);
}

但作为一个简单的可运行的例子......

                } catch (Exception ex) {
                }

                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Testing");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
                frame.add(new TestPane());

                frame.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }

    public void applyGrayscaleMaskToAlpha(BufferedImage image, BufferedImage mask) {
        int width = image.getWidth();
        int height = image.getHeight();

        int[] imagePixels = image.getRGB(0, 0, width, height, null, 0, width);

                size = new Dimension(master.getWidth() + mask.getWidth(), Math.max(master.getHeight(), mask.getHeight()));
            }
            return size;
        }

        @Override
        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
            super.paintComponent(g);
            int x = (getWidth() - (master.getWidth() + mask.getWidth())) / 2;
            int y = (getHeight() - master.getHeight()) / 2;
            g.drawImage(master, x, y, this);

            x += mask.getWidth();
            y = (getHeight() - mask.getHeight()) / 2;
            g.drawImage(mask, x, y, this);
        }

    }

}

对不起有困惑

更新 - 没有“操纵数据缓冲区”

  

我一直在寻找Java API的方式来完成相同的工作而不需要操作位

好的,所以我也更喜欢一种从灰度图像生成基于alpha的图像的解决方案,它更适合整个Graphics 2D API。所以,经过一点阅读of this question which keeps on giving后,我偶然发现了这个想法......

public static BufferedImage grayScaleToTransparency(BufferedImage master) {
    ImageFilter filter = new RGBImageFilter() {
        public final int filterRGB(int x, int y, int rgb) {
            return (rgb << 16) & 0xFF000000;
        }
    };

    ImageProducer ip = new FilteredImageSource(master.getSource(), filter);
    Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(ip);

    BufferedImage buffer = createCompatibleImage(img.getWidth(null), img.getHeight(null), Transparency.TRANSLUCENT);
    Graphics2D g2d = buffer.createGraphics();
    g2d.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
    g2d.dispose();

    return buffer;
}

现在,使用BufferedImageFilterBufferedImageOp可能会有所收获,但我没有时间或经验对其进行进一步调查。

使用这种技术我能够产生......

我感谢@Hovercraft Full Of Eels建议BufferedImageOp,这导致BandCombineOp。当用合适的矩阵进行馈送时,该类可以操纵任何或所有频带。减轻,变暗,移动和复制波段,而无需访问DataBuffer或操作位。

如何将图像放入alpha波段

  1. 加载或绘制图像;这将成为阿尔法乐队。图片 可以是彩色或灰度。
  2. 将图片转换为BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_GRAY
  3. 将灰度转换为BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB。颜色 band将包含 near 相同的灰度副本。
  4. 使用BandCombineOp将色带复制到Alpha波段。有关矩阵,请参阅toAlpha()
  5. 这是在编码位操作上移动/复制波段的更好方法,因为它在数学上更优雅,并且API可以利用视频加速硬件(如果存在并由Java支持。)

    示例Java应用程序:嵌入alpha

    包含一个应用程序来演示该过程。选择颜色源和alpha源,应用程序将它们合成为一个图像。显示两个源图像,中间图像和复合图像以保持理智。右键单击要保存的任何图像。

    颜色来源:猫

    Color source

    阿尔法来源:鸟 Alpha source

    Alpha源:绿色波段复制到alpha波段 Alpha source: green to alpha

    组合

    color + alpha composite

    运行应用程序:(1)创建名为embedalpha的JavaFX项目,(2)删除自动生成的.java文件的内容,(3)粘贴我的代码,以及(4)运行。

    要跟踪过程,请在方法handleBuildComposite()中添加断点。忽略appendGallery()。乐队副本toAlpha()
