ImageFilterDemo is a program that allows rapid prototyping of image filters in Java. This program was written by David Foster.

Program & Source Code

  • v1.0
    • Original version
  • v1.0.1
    • Added PixelBufferFilter2, a new type of filter.
    • Added contour extraction filters for the horizontal, vertical, and plus (horizontal+vertical) directions.
  • v1.0.2
    • Addressed issue with loading certain images on Windows systems.
      • Specifically, java.awt.Toolkit.prepareImage(Image, int, int, ImageObserver) on Windows does not notify the specified ImageObserver when images are finished loading under certain conditions.
      • Credit goes to Andy for discovering this bug.
  • v1.0.3
    • "Select..." button for selecting files now remembers the last file that was selected (even across different invocations of the program).
    • Added support for dragging & dropping files into the "file well".
  • v1.0.4
    • Added ability to save filtered images to disk.

Future Versions (Planned)

  • v1.1 - Coming soon!
    • Added support for filter parameters that are manipulatable in the GUI.
    • Made plugin architecture easier to use. To add a plugin now, just add its .class file to the plugins folder.
  • v2.0
    • New input source: Image sequences
    • New input source: Movies (.mov, or other formats that QuickTime can handle)
    • Added support for temporal filters. These are filters that are designed for processing several images in sequence.

Feature Requests

  • Ability to apply multiple filters (in a specific order) --Andy
    • Workaround:
      1. Load the original image.
      2. Select the first filter.
      3. Save the filtered image.
      4. Load the filtered image.
      5. Select the next filter.
      6. Repeat until no more filters.
  • Ability to save config profiles for each filter. --Andy
    • ...to file, to preferences, or to both? --David
