I'm attempting to derive an intensity value for a particular pixel in a monochrome "grayscale" image. I have some pseudocode, but thus far I've been unable to implement something that really works.
/**
* Retrieve the intensity value at location ('row', 'column') of the image 'img' and return it
* Note:
* - the 2D image is stored as an 8bit, 1D, row-major array of type byte
* - the data type byte is signed in Java
* - Slide 27 of chapter 2 introduces the representation of an image
* @param img in row major format
* @param row to evaluate
* @param column to evaluate
* @param width of img
* @param height of img
* @return the intensity value at row and column if within bounds, -1 otherwise
*/
public int getIntensityValue(byte[] img, int row, int column, int width, int height) {
int intensity = img[row,column];
return intensity;
}
