# Class ConvolveOp

java.lang.Object
java.awt.image.ConvolveOp

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `BufferedImageOp`, `RasterOp`

public class ConvolveOp extends Object implements BufferedImageOp, RasterOp
This class implements a convolution from the source to the destination. Convolution using a convolution kernel is a spatial operation that computes the output pixel from an input pixel by multiplying the kernel with the surround of the input pixel. This allows the output pixel to be affected by the immediate neighborhood in a way that can be mathematically specified with a kernel.

This class operates with BufferedImage data in which color components are premultiplied with the alpha component. If the Source BufferedImage has an alpha component, and the color components are not premultiplied with the alpha component, then the data are premultiplied before being convolved. If the Destination has color components which are not premultiplied, then alpha is divided out before storing into the Destination (if alpha is 0, the color components are set to 0). If the Destination has no alpha component, then the resulting alpha is discarded after first dividing it out of the color components.

Rasters are treated as having no alpha channel. If the above treatment of the alpha channel in BufferedImages is not desired, it may be avoided by getting the Raster of a source BufferedImage and using the filter method of this class which works with Rasters.

If a RenderingHints object is specified in the constructor, the color rendering hint and the dithering hint may be used when color conversion is required.

Note that the Source and the Destination may not be the same object.

  - ### filter

    public final BufferedImage filter(BufferedImage src, BufferedImage dst)
    Performs a convolution on BufferedImages. Each component of the source image will be convolved (including the alpha component, if present). If the color model in the source image is not the same as that in the destination image, the pixels will be converted in the destination. If the destination image is null, a BufferedImage will be created with the source ColorModel. The IllegalArgumentException may be thrown if the source is the same as the destination.
    Specified by:
      `filter` in interface `BufferedImageOp`
    Parameters:
      `src` - the source `BufferedImage` to filter
      `dst` - the destination `BufferedImage` for the filtered `src`
    Returns:
      the filtered `BufferedImage`
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `src` is `null`
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `src` equals `dst`
      `ImagingOpException` - if `src` cannot be filtered

  - ### filter

    public final WritableRaster filter(Raster src, WritableRaster dst)
    Performs a convolution on Rasters. Each band of the source Raster will be convolved. The source and destination must have the same number of bands. If the destination Raster is null, a new Raster will be created. The IllegalArgumentException may be thrown if the source is the same as the destination.
    Specified by:
      `filter` in interface `RasterOp`
    Parameters:
      `src` - the source `Raster` to filter

  - ### createCompatibleDestImage

    public BufferedImage createCompatibleDestImage(BufferedImage src, ColorModel destCM)
    Creates a zeroed destination image with the correct size and number of bands. If destCM is null, an appropriate ColorModel will be used.
    Specified by:
      `createCompatibleDestImage` in interface `BufferedImageOp`
    Parameters:
      `src` - Source image for the filter operation.
      `destCM` - ColorModel of the destination. Can be null.

  - ### getBounds2D

    public final Rectangle2D getBounds2D(BufferedImage src)

    Returns:
      The `Rectangle2D` representing the destination image's bounding box.
