Java Advanced Imaging API: A Tutorial

Abstract

This tutorial shows how the Java language and its Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) Application Program Interface (API) can be used to create applications for image representation, processing and visualization. The Java language advantages are its low cost, licensing independence and inter-platform portability. The JAI API advantages are its flexibility and variety of image processing operators. The purpose of this tutorial is to present the basic concepts of the JAI API, including several complete and verified code samples which implements simple image processing and visualization operations. At the end of the tutorial the reader should be able to implement his/her own algorithms using the Java language and the JAI API. Keywords : Image processing, Algorithms, Java, Java Advanced Imaging.
