How can i find dominant color of an image?

Question

Can we find which color is dominant in an image with using java,imagemagick or jmagick?

Answer 1

in java iterate on each pixel and determine color

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.imageio.ImageReader;
import javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream;


public class ImageTester {


    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        File file = new File("C:\\Users\\Andrew\\Desktop\\myImage.gif");
        ImageInputStream is = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(file);
        Iterator iter = ImageIO.getImageReaders(is);

        if (!iter.hasNext())
        {
            System.out.println("Cannot load the specified file "+ file);
            System.exit(1);
        }
        ImageReader imageReader = (ImageReader)iter.next();
        imageReader.setInput(is);

        BufferedImage image = imageReader.read(0);

        int height = image.getHeight();
        int width = image.getWidth();
