Logical operation on Image

[sachin upatil]

In Java How to do logical operation on Image ?

e.g ANDing, ORing ....

What do you want to achieve exactly? Take the (A)RGB value of each pixel (x,y) in both images, perform the operation on those two values, then set the result of that operation for a new image?

If so, look at BufferedImage. It allows you to get and set individual pixel values using getRGB and setRGB. Use ImageIO.read to create BufferedImage objects from files.

Whatever it is he wants, it's probably achievable with AlphaComposite or BlendComposite. If so, there's no need to reinvent the wheel (unless of course if this is homework).

I want to do this logical operation (as shown in image screenshot) on binary image ?

I did it using BufferedImage. I take the each pixel from two images and do logical operation on that pixel and setting that pixel.(used getRGB and setRGB).
the result i get attached as LogicalOPeration.

what's wrong with AND and OR operation in my result ?

[Rob Spoor]

Now we see what you want, AlphaComposite is what you should use. If we define IMG_1 as the source and IMG_2 as the destination, you can use the following rules:
- SRC_IN for AND
- SRC_OVER for OR
- CLEAR for XOR
- DST_OUT for NOT-AND

Problem solved ....

First i converted image as Binary : if getRGB if RGB = 255: pixel = 0 else 1

Do operation on it then setRGB() : if result 1 = setRGB black else white.

         // convert image into binary image white = 0 and black = 1 
	 private void marchThroughImage(BufferedImage image,BufferedImage image_1) {
	    
		int w = image.getWidth();
	        int h = image.getHeight();
	    
                int [][] img_11 = new int [w][h];
                int [][] img_12 = new int [w][h];

                int alpha,red,green,blue;
	    for (int i = 0; i < h; i++) {
	      for (int j = 0; j < w; j++) {
	        //System.out.println("x,y: " + j + ", " + i);
	        int pixel = image.getRGB(j, i);
	    	//printPixelARGB(pixel);	
	    	
	    	 alpha = (pixel >> 24) & 0xff;
	 	     red = (pixel >> 16) & 0xff;
	 	     green = (pixel >> 8) & 0xff;
	 	     blue = (pixel) & 0xff;
	        
	 	     if (red == 255 && green == 255 && blue == 255) {pixel = 0; }  // white color
	         else pixel = 1;											   // black color	
	        
	         img_11[j][i] = pixel ;	                                       // put pixel binary value into array 
	                
	      }
	    }
	    
	    for (int i = 0; i < image_1.getHeight(); i++) {
		      for (int j = 0; j < image_1.getWidth(); j++) {
		        int pixel_1 = image_1.getRGB(j, i);
		        
		        alpha = (pixel_1 >> 24) & 0xff;
		 	    red = (pixel_1 >> 16) & 0xff;
		 	    green = (pixel_1 >> 8) & 0xff;
		 	    blue = (pixel_1) & 0xff;
		        
		 	    if (red == 255 && green == 255 && blue == 255) {pixel_1 = 0; } // white color
		        else pixel_1 = 1;											   // black color	
		        
		        img_12[j][i] = pixel_1 ;									   // put pixel binary value into array	
		        }
		    }
	    
	    for (int i = 0; i < h; i++) {
		      for (int j = 0; j < w; j++) {
		      
		    	  int a = img_11[j][i] & img_12[j][i];
		    	  //System.out.println(img_11[j][i] +"&"+ img_12[j][i] +"="+a);
		    	  int b = img_11[j][i] | img_12[j][i];
		    	  int c = img_11[j][i] ^ img_12[j][i];
		    	  int d = ~img_11[j][i] & img_12[j][i];
		    	  
		    	  
		    	  if (a == 1){ mag_and.setRGB(j, i, new Color(0,0,0).getRGB()); } 		// set black if 1 
		    	  else {       mag_and.setRGB(j, i, new Color(255,255,255).getRGB()); } // set white if 0
		    	  
		    	  if (b == 1){ mag_or.setRGB(j, i, new Color(0,0,0).getRGB());  }
		    	  else { 	   mag_or.setRGB(j, i, new Color(255,255,255).getRGB());  }
		    		  
		    	  if (c == 1){ mag_xor.setRGB(j, i, new Color(0,0,0).getRGB()); }
		    	  else { 	   mag_xor.setRGB(j, i, new Color(255,255,255).getRGB());	}
		    	  
		    	  if (d == 1){ mag_not_and.setRGB(j, i, new Color(0,0,0).getRGB());}
		    	  else {       mag_not_and.setRGB(j, i, new Color(255,255,255).getRGB());}
