8.9.3. Picture Lab A5: Modifying a Picture

Even though digital pictures have millions of pixels, modern computers are so fast that they can process all of them quickly. You will write methods in the Picture class that modify digital pictures.

8.9.3.1. Picture Classes: UML and Inheritance

The Picture class inherits attributes and methods from the SimplePicture class and the SimplePicture class implements the DigitalPicture interface as shown in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagram in the figure below.

../_images/UML.png

Figure 1: A UML Class diagram

A UML class diagram shows classes and the relationships between the classes. Each class is shown in a box with the class name at the top. The middle area shows attributes (instance or class variables) and the bottom area shows methods. The open triangle points to the class that the connected class inherits from. The straight line links show associations between classes. Association is also called a “has-a” relationship. The numbers at the end of the association links give the number of objects associated with an object at the other end.

For example, it shows that one Pixel object has one Color object associated with it and that a Color object can have zero to many Pixel objects associated with it. You may notice that the UML class diagram doesn’t look exactly like Java code. UML isn’t language specific.

The following questions require some knowledge about inheritance which is covered in the next unit, Unit 9. You may want to come back to do these questions after Unit 9.

Because DigitalPicture declares a getPixels2D method that returns a two-dimensional array of Pixel objects, SimplePicture implements that interface, and Picture inherits from SimplePicture, you can use the getPixels2D method on a Picture object. You can loop through all the Pixel objects in the two-dimensional array to modify the picture. You can get and set the red, green, and/or blue value for a Pixel object. You can also get and/or set the Color value for a Pixel object. For example,

Picture pict = new Picture("beach.jpg");
Pixel[][] pixels = pict.getPixels2D();
Pixel p = pixels[0][0]; // get the first pixel
int blue = p.getBlue(); // get its blue value
System.out.println("Pixel (0,0) has a blue value of " + blue );
p.setBlue(255);  // set its blue value to 255
pict.show();

8.9.3.2. Image Modification Exercises

../_images/beach.jpg

What do you think you will see if you modify the beach picture to set all the blue values to zero? Do you think you will still see a beach? Run the main method in the Picture class in the Active Code below. The body of the main method will create a Picture object named beach from the “beach.jpg” file and call the method that sets the blue values at all pixels to zero. The following code is the main method from the Picture class.

public static void main(String[] args)
{
  Picture pict = new Picture("beach.jpg");
  pict.show(); // show the before picture
  pict.zeroBlue();
  pict.show(); // show the after picture
}

The method zeroBlue in the Picture class gets a two-dimensional array of Pixel objects from the current picture (the picture the method was called on). It then declares a variable that will refer to a Pixel object named pixelObj. It uses a nested for-each loop to loop through all the pixels in the picture. Inside the body of the nested for-each loop it sets the blue value for the current pixel to zero. Note that you cannot change the elements of an array when you use a for-each loop. If, however, the array elements are references to objects that have methods that allow changes, as they are here, you can change the internal state of objects referenced in the array.

The following code is the zeroBlue method in the Picture class.

public void zeroBlue()
{
     Pixel[][] pixels = this.getPixels2D();
     for (Pixel[] rowArray : pixels)
     {
          for (Pixel p : rowArray)
          {
             p.setBlue(0);
          }
     }
}

Another option is to use for loops with indices to visit each pixel in the picture:

public void zeroBlue()
{
     Pixel[][] pixels = this.getPixels2D();
     for (int row = 0; row < pixels.length; row++)
     {
          for (int col = 0 ; col < pixels[0].length; col++)
          {
             Pixel p = pixels[row][col];
             p.setBlue(0);
          }
     }
}

coding exercise Coding Exercises

../_images/keepOnlyBlue.png

  1. You may have done this exercise in the programming challenge in lesson 8.2. Using the zeroBlue method as a starting point, write the method keepOnlyBlue that will keep only the blue values, that is, it will set the red and green values to zero. Be sure to call the new test method in the main method.

You can use beach.jpg or one of the other images seen at the bottom of this lesson in the active codes below which are autograded. To use your own images, you can fork this Repl.it Swing project or this alternative Repl.it project (click output.jpg to see the result) or download the project files form replit to your own IDE.

Picture Lab keepOnlyBlue: Using zeroBlue() as a guide, write a method called keepOnlyBlue() that keeps only the blue values by setting the red and green values to zero. Change the method call in main from zeroBlue to keepOnlyBlue to test it. Try one of the other images below like metalLion.jpg, water.jpg, kitten.jpg, puppies.jpg, blueMotorcycle.jpg, or student.jpg.

../_images/negate.jpg

2. Write the negate method to negate all the pixels in a picture. To negate a picture, set the red value to 255 minus the current red value (use the pixel’s getRed method), the green value to 255 minus the current green value and the blue value to 255 minus the current blue value. Be sure to call the new test method in the main method.

Picture Lab negate: Write a method called negate() that negates all the pixels in a picture by setting the red value to 255 minus the current red value (use the pixel’s getRed() method), the green value to 255 minus the current green value and the blue value to 255 minus the current blue value. Try one of the other images below like beach.jpg, metalLion.jpg, water.jpg, kitten.jpg, puppies.jpg, blueMotorcycle.jpg, or student.jpg.

../_images/grayscale.jpg

3. Write the grayscale method to turn the picture into shades of gray. Set the red, green, and blue values to the average of the current red, green, and blue values (add all three values and divide by 3). Be sure to call the new test method in the main method.

Picture Lab Grayscale: Write a method called grayscale to turn the picture into shades of gray. Set the red, green, and blue values to the average of the current red, green, and blue values (add all three values and divide by 3). Try another image file from beach.jpg, metalLion.jpg, water.jpg, kitten.jpg, puppies.jpg, blueMotorcycle.jpg, student.jpg.

../_images/water.jpg ../_images/fixunderwater.jpg

4. Challenge — Explore the water.jpg picture. Write a method fixUnderwater() to modify the pixel colors to make the fish easier to see. There are many ways to do this, but you could try increasing one of the colors by a certain factor. Here are some more complex algorithms for increasing the brightness and contrast of images https://ie.nitk.ac.in/blog/2020/01/19/algorithms-for-adjusting-brightness-and-contrast-of-an-image/.

Picture Lab fix-underwater: Write a method called fixUnderwater() to modify the pixel colors to make the fish easier to see. Try increasing one of the colors by a certain factor.

../_images/changetshirt.png

  1. Extra Challenge — This exercise is not in the original picture lab. Can you change just the t-shirt color in student.jpg? You will need to use an if statement inside the loops to look for the red t-shirt color and then change it. The red pixels probably have a high red value (for example greater than 200) and low green and blue values (for example less than 100). After changing the t-shirt color, try changing the background color or the hair color.
