[ImageJ-devel] Img <-> BufferedImage conversion

[Tobias Pietzsch]

Hi Brian,

BufferedImage is always 2D, so you cannot have a BufferedImage with dimensions (height, width, 3).

If you know that you have an ArrayImg and you know the pixel Type, you can get to the underlying primitive array, for example
byte[] array = ( byte[] ) ( ( ArrayDataAccess< ? > ) img.update( null ) ).getCurrentStorageArray()
if you know that img is a UnsignedByteType ArrayImg. Then you wrap that in a BufferedImage.

You can do the same thing the other way around: Get the primitive array from the BufferedImage and wrap it in an ArrayImg.

Essentially the code you found does that for you for the standard PixelTypes (UnsignedByteType, ARGBType, etc )...

best regards,
Tobias

I’d also like to be able to transform those BufferedImages back into ArrayImg objects. For the most part I’m currently working with just PNG and JPEG (i.e. ARGB).

I saw this code at https://github.com/imglib/imglib/…/BufferedImageImg.java, but the resulting ArrayImg has dimensions of (height, width, 1) instead of the expected dimensions of (heigh, width, 3), so it doesn’t appear to be doing the right thing.
