Java: Color Image to Grayscale | BufferedImage Image Filters

In this second video in my Java Image Filters series, I show how to convert color images to grayscale using Java's BufferedImage library. Conversion to Grayscale is the first step in applying machine learning feature recognition algorithms to an image.
This Java image processing series will explain how to write image filters using the Java BufferedImage library. Videos will teach how to edit individual pixels in an image in Java code. All code is provided free on GitHub. We'll write image filters to:
- load and display an image;
- convert an image to grayscale;
- pixelate an image;
- shrink or resize an image;
- apply a gaussian blur;
- brighten an image; and
- do edge detection in an image.
which we'll later use for pattern recognition.
After this series, follow-on videos will teach ways to recognize license plate numbers by coding our own machine learning algorithms in Java.

All the code in this playlist was written in SublimeText on a MacBook, and can be downloaded at the link below.

So happy to see you make a return to Youtube. My programming class in silicon valley is really challenging and your videos help a lot.

Hey James! Would also love to see the next programming jokes part release soon. After 5 years, you must have some hilarious jokes saved up. 🤣😂

Joe James, can I get an interview with you. Also can the subscribers possibly get to see a new episode in the programming jokes series. I've been waiting for 5 years and I think my material is quite hilarious. 😊😊😂😂🤣🤣

hey, im a bit confused on how the bitwise shift operation works. I understand how we are shifting by increments of 8 to get each r, g, and b value but why & 0xFF?

Hello Mr. Josephine Jameson, I am inquiring about a possible new edition in the programming jokes as the first 4 just cracked me up. I have a couple of suggestions if you would like I can email them to you. Been watching and thinking of jokes for the past 5 years. Much Love, Matthew 😄😄

is there a way to adjust the greyness level?
