As part of my final year project I need to convert a jpeg of a person's face into a 2d array so I can perform some kind of analysis on it. I've looked through the java API and I've not found anything per se that would allow me to do this straight off, just a couple of getter methods to find the height and size of the image (which would allow me to determine the size of the array required). If anyone has any experience with this then please could you point me in the right direction so I can figure out how to do it, thanks
