best image processing library for java

could you please suggest the best image开发者_运维技巧 processing library for pure Java environment?

I'll need to do webcam capture, and object detection in real time. Or if you have any similar projects doing this it will be great. :)

There is a wrapper for openCV for Java at http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/opencv/

That's the best for doing object detection and such. Anyway you must first grab images and for that you can use JMF.

Have a look in JAI and JMF.

Catalano Framework is the best lib in image processing for java. It works in Android too with the same code. Example:

FastBitmap fb = new FastBitmap("c:\\yourImage.bmp");

fb.toGrayscale();

Threshold t = new Threshold(120);
t.applyInPlace(fb);

// Your objects.
BlobDetection bd = new BlobDetection();
ArrayList<Blob> blobs = bd.ProcessImage(fb);

Marvin Framework provides algorithms for image and video processing, including object tracking.
