Anupama Akre, Sabin Tabirca · Principles and Practice of Programming in Java · 2003
Digital imaging in Java has been supported since its first release, through the java.awt and java.awt.image class packages. Now there are three distinct java imaging APIs namely, the basic AWT imaging API, Java 2D API and Java Advance Imaging (JAI) API. This paper firstly summarizes and compares important features of AWT, Java2D and JAI APIs. Then the Java2D and JAI technologies are compared based on practical results obtained by evaluation of convolution.
