Java Image Processing Libraries

JAI - Sun Microsystems Java Advanced Imaging API
"The Java Advanced Imaging API broadens the reach of the Java platform to allow sophisticated, high performance image processing functionality to be incorporated into Java applets and applications. The Java Advanced Imaging API goes beyond the functionality of traditional imaging APIs to provide a high-performance, platform-independent and extensible image processing framework."

JIGL - Java Image and Graphics Library
Digital image processing library in java from Brigham Young University. "JIGL is built around a set of pixel-addressable image buffer classes. These images support pixel access, simple arithmetic on individual pixels, image-wide operations, and image-image operations. Image types include grey (integer), real (floating point), color (both integer and floating point), and complex. A set of utility classes provides convolution, the Fourier Transform, and other operations on images. Also included are classes that support image I/O and display. Level operations and mathematical morphology (both binary and greylevel) are also included. The goal of JIGL is to make programming both course-level and research-level image handling algorithms as easy as possible. "

Gif4J Java GIF Imaging Library
"Gif4J Library is a Java class library that provides a comprehensive set of powerful and high-performance functionality for managing animated and non-animated GIF images. The professional edition of the Gif4J Java GIF imaging library offers the most comprehensive GIF image processing solution for imaging professionals."

JH Labs Java Image Filters
"...a large number of Java Image filters which are freely available for download from this site. The filters are all standard Java BufferedImageOps and can be plugged directly into existing programs ..."

Mistral High-level Imaging Engine
"Mistral is a high-level imaging engine for the Java™ Standard Edition platform (J2SE). It has been designed as an abstraction layer over the real imaging engine, that can be freely choosen among one of the most popular around (e.g. JAI, ImageJ), thus allowing the programmer to focus on the algorithm, without wasting time on implementation details."

JIU - Java Imaging Utilities
"A Java library for loading, editing, analyzing and saving pixel image files. Java 1.1 or higher is required. Various file formats are supported, demo applications for the command line and the AWT GUI toolkit are provided.."

G - a Generic Graphics Library
"G is a generic graphics library built on top of Java 2D in order to make scene graph oriented 2D graphics available to client applications in a high level, easy to use way."

Java Imaging Processing API
"The Java image processing API is developed by the students and the lecturers of the image processing course at Hogskolen i Ostfold (Ostfold College)."

Java library for ICO files
"AC.lib-ICO is a library and a stand alone program. The library reads images in MS ICO file format (i.e., favicon.ico) from URL, file, stream, and buffer and converts them into Java Image objects for your convenience. "

JPedal
" In development since 1997, JPedal is a 100% Java library designed to ease the integration of pdf files into any work flow. Concentrating on the easy display, manipulation and extraction of content, JPedal is an essential tool for pdf developers. "
