ImageColorAverager

The ImageColorAverager class allows to compute the average color of an area around one pixel in an image.

Configuration

The constructor allows to specify the spread around the pixel, which will define the area which will be used to average the color.

Usage

The ImageColorAverager.averageColor(int, int) computes the average color in an area defined by the spread around the specified pixel:

• If the pixel is outside the limits of the image, it will return null
• Else the class will compute the average color using the pixels in the area defined by the spread

Behavior when the spread area is partly outside the image

If the spread area is partly outside the image, only the pixels in the image will be used. For example:

Example

   BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(<my image file>);
   ImageColorAverager averager = new ImageColorAverager(bi, 10);
   int x = <x position of the pixel>
   int y = <y position of the pixel>
   Color color = averager.averageColor(x, y);
