BufferedImage2Matrix (DMLab Library API for 0.0.4-SNAPSHOT)

java.lang.Object
- edu.gsu.cs.dmlab.imageproc.imageparam.util.BufferedImage2Matrix

```
public abstract class BufferedImage2Matrix
extends Object
```
This class is designed to wrap all minor manipulation tasks needed, such as converting a BufferedImage to a one/two-dimensional array.
The methods below are inspired from Tom Gibara's implementation of Canny Edge Detection > readLuminance().
See his code here.
Note: This class follows the convention of reading/writing matrices in a row-by-row fashion.

- Method Detail
  - getArrayFromImage
```
public static double[] getArrayFromImage(BufferedImage bImage)
```
    This method converts a BufferedImage object into a 1D array of color intensity values. In this implementation, the conversion of the 2D image is done in such a way that rows are put one after another to form the 1D array (as opposed to a column-by-column conversion).
    
    Parameters:
    
    bImage - the given BufferedImage object to be converted.
    
    Returns:
    
    a 1D array of the color intensity values (double) extracted from the given image.
  - get2DArrayFromImage
```
public static double[][] get2DArrayFromImage(BufferedImage bImage)
```
    This method converts a BufferedImage object into a 2D array of color intensity values.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bImage - the given BufferedImage object to be converted.
    
    Returns:
    
    a 2D array of the color intensity values (double) extracted from the given image.
  - get2DArrayFromImageIgnoringColorPixels
```
public static double[][] get2DArrayFromImageIgnoringColorPixels(BufferedImage bImage)
