ForkLoop Images Assignment

Motivation

We gain experience using a parallel fork loop. Image processing often presents the opportunity for a lot of parallelism. Here we will operate on a single image, making a parallel task for each row.

Background

Revisit the Image Batch Race Condition Exercise's Background section for information on pixels and images.

PixelFilters

		@Override

Code To Implement

ParallelTaskPerRowImageFilter

class:	ParallelTaskPerRowImageFilter.java
methods:	apply
package:	imagefilter.exercise
source folder:	student/src/main/java

apply

method: public HsvImage apply(HsvImage src, PixelFilter pixelFilter) (parallel implementation required)

Warning: When applying pixelFilter(), always put the result in a new array. Don't overwrite values of the source array.

This code need only include one: join_fork_loop(array, (arrayValue) -> // etc... ) and an inner for loop using pixelFilter.apply(). Each join_fork_loop iteration should return an HsvColor[].

However, if you do this, join_fork_loop() will default to returning a List<HsvColor[]> which we don't want. To avoid this, hand join_fork_loop() the class you'll return: e.g.

HsvColor[][] destination = join_fork_loop(HsvColor[].class, array, (arrayValue) -> {
     // code returning HsvColor[]'s
}); 

As opposed to:

List<HsvColor[]> destination = join_fork_loop(array, (arrayValue) -> {
     // code returning HsvColor[]'s
}); 

.

Finish out the method by returning a new DefaultHsvImage() which accepts a HsvColor[][] in its constructor.
