Class OrderedDither
java.lang.Object
net.sourceforge.jiu.ops.Operation
net.sourceforge.jiu.ops.ImageToImageOperation
net.sourceforge.jiu.color.dithering.OrderedDither
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- RGBIndex
public class OrderedDither
- extends ImageToImageOperation
- implements RGBIndex
This operation reduces the color depth of RGB truecolor images and grayscale images
by applying ordered dithering.
A relatively nice output image (for a human observer) will be created at the
cost of introducing noise into the output image.
The algorithm is relatively fast, but its quality is usually inferior to what
can be reached by using ErrorDiffusionDithering
or similar other methods.
Supported conversions
- Grayscale to bilevel maps GrayIntegerImage objects
to BilevelImage objects.
- Grayscale to grayscale maps GrayIntegerImage objects
to other GrayIntegerImage objects.
Right now, only Gray8Image objects are supported.
After reducing the number of bits, each sample is immediately scaled back
to 8 bits per pixel in order to fit into another Gray8Image object.
- Truecolor to paletted maps RGBIntegerImage objects
to Paletted8Image objects; the sum of the output bits must not be larger
than 8
Usage example
The following code snippet demonstrates how to create a paletted
image with 256 colors, using three bits for red and green and two
bits for blue, from an RGB truecolor image.
OrderedDither od = new OrderedDither();
od.setRgbBits(3, 3, 2);
od.setInputImage(image);
od.process();
Paletted8Image ditheredImage = (Paletted8Image)od.getOutputImage();

OrderedDither
public OrderedDither()
process
public void process()
throws MissingParameterException,
WrongParameterException
- Description copied from class:
Operation
- This method does the actual work of the operation.
It must be called after all parameters have been given to the operation object.
- Overrides:
process
in class Operation
- Throws:
MissingParameterException
- if any mandatory parameter was not given to the operation
WrongParameterException
- if at least one of the input parameters was
not initialized appropriately (values out of the valid interval, etc.)
setOutputBits
public void setOutputBits(int bits)
setRgbBits
public void setRgbBits(int red,
int green,
int blue)
- Sets the number of bits to be used for each RGB component in the output image.
Each argument must be one or larger.
The values defined by this method are only used if the input image implements
RGBIntegerImage.
Later, in
process(net.sourceforge.jiu.data.Gray8Image, net.sourceforge.jiu.data.Gray8Image)
, these values are checked against
the actual number of bits per component in the input image.
If any of the arguments of this method is equal to or larger
than those actual bits per channel values, a WrongParameterException
will then be thrown.
Right now, there is no way how this can be checked, because
the input image may not have been defined yet.
- Parameters:
red
- number of bits for the red channel in the output imagegreen
- number of bits for the green channel in the output imageblue
- number of bits for the blue channel in the output image
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if at least one argument is smaller than 1
setStandardThresholdValues
public void setStandardThresholdValues()
- Calls
setThresholdValues(int[], int, int)
with a 16 x 16 matrix.
setThresholdValues
public void setThresholdValues(int[] values,
int valueWidth,
int valueHeight)
- Defines a matrix of threshold values that will be used for grayscale
dithering.
- Parameters:
values
- the int values to use for comparingvalueWidth
- valueHeight
