Image manipulations

Hi,
I am a new user, I hope I have posted in the right section.
I have an MVC application java that captures an image from file, saving it to an object of type BufferedImage. I would like to do the AND logical operation between two images but do not know how to do, I can not find the sample code, where can I find it?
I would use JAI but I have a 64 bit system and searching in internet I saw that JAI can be used only on 32-bit systems and jdk 1.3 or so. Or should I use OpenCV? What can I use?
Thanks

Can you explain what "AND operation" means with images? It does not make sense to me.

If you dont mind about hardware acceleration you could simply iterate over all pixels, do the calculations yourself, and write them back to a target image.

Thanks Norm for the reply
logical operations of which I speak have to do such as reported in this file

Thanks

Do you have any more questions now?

The question is how do I make the logical operations between images? if there is some sample code in the internet and if I have to use a library or not.
Thanks

What does a "logical operation" between images mean? Can you explain what you are talking about?

I need to load and load image1 image2 applicazioen in MVC, I have to get a immagine3 that contains only the parts common to both image1 and image2. I need to see some sample code. Can you help me? I do not know if I was clear.

By common parts do you mean a pixel by pixel comparison of the two images from 0,0 (upper left) to width,length (lower right)and when the pixels match, that pixel is copied to image3? What value is the pixel set to if the pixels don't match?

You should compare pixel by pixel, but do not know
Thanks

The BufferedImage class has methods that allow you to access the pixels in the image.

I tried to make the difference between two images in this way, but as a result I get a black image, why?

Code :

public void Diff() throws IOException {
        BufferedImage image1 = ImageIO.read(new File("coloured-pencils.jpg"));
        BufferedImage image2 = ImageIO.read(new File("happy.jpg"));
        BufferedImage image3 = new BufferedImage(image1.getWidth(), image1.getHeight(), image1.getType());
 
 
        int img1H = image1.getHeight();
        int img1W = image1.getWidth();
 
        int img2H = image2.getHeight();
        int img2W = image2.getWidth();
 
        int argb1, alpha1, red1, green1, blue1;
        int argb2, alpha2, red2, green2, blue2;
 
        int aDiff, rDiff, gDiff, bDiff;
        int diff;
 
        if (img1H == img2H && img1W == img2W) {
            for (int x = 0; x < image1.getHeight(); x++) {
                for (int y = 0; y < image1.getWidth(); y++) {
                    argb1 = image1.getRGB(x, y);
                    argb2 = image2.getRGB(x, y);
 
                    alpha1 = (argb1 >> 24) & 0xFF;
                    red1 = (argb1 >> 16) & 0xFF;
                    green1 = (argb1 >> 8) & 0xFF;
                    blue1 = (argb1) & 0xFF;
 
                    alpha2 = (argb2 >> 24) & 0xFF;
                    red2 = (argb2 >> 16) & 0xFF;
                    green2 = (argb2 >> 8) & 0xFF;
                    blue2 = (argb2) & 0xFF;
 
                    aDiff = Math.abs(alpha1 - alpha2);
                    rDiff = Math.abs(red1 - red2);
                    gDiff = Math.abs(green1 - green2);
                    bDiff = Math.abs(blue1 - blue2);
 
                    diff = (aDiff << 24) | (rDiff << 16) | (gDiff << 8) | bDiff;
                    image3.setRGB(x, y, diff);
                }
 
            }
            this.setOriginalImage(image3);
        } else {
 
        }
    }

Try doing some debugging by printing out the values of the variables that are used to see what the code is doing.
For example what is in diff for each x and y?
