Android- convert ARGB_8888 bitmap to 3BYTE_BGR

Question

I get the pixel data of my ARGB_8888 bitmap by doing this:

public void getImagePixels(byte[] pixels, Bitmap image) {
    // calculate how many bytes our imag

With OpenCV library and you getting pixels via different method (see below) you can replace java function with native calls and it is ~4x more fastest:

In summary:

// reading bitmap from java side:
Mat mFrame = Mat(height,width,CV_8UC4,pFrameData).clone();
Mat mout;
cvtColor(mFrame, mout,CV_RGB2GRAY); // or CV_RGB2XXX (3BGR)

Complete example:

Java side:

    Bitmap bitmap = mTextureView.getBitmap(mWidth, mHeight);
    int[] argb = new int[mWidth * mHeight];
    // get ARGB pixels and then proccess it with 8UC4 opencv convertion
    bitmap.getPixels(argb, 0, mWidth, 0, 0, mWidth, mHeight);
    // native method (NDK or CMake)
    processFrame8UC4(argb, mWidth, mHeight);

Native side (NDK):

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL com_native_detector_Utils_processFrame8UC4
    (JNIEnv *env, jobject object, jint width, jint height, jintArray frame) {

    jint *pFrameData = env->GetIntArrayElements(frame, 0);
    // it is the line:
    Mat mFrame = Mat(height,width,CV_8UC4,pFrameData).clone();
    // the next only is a extra example to gray convertion:
    Mat mout;
    cvtColor(mFrame, mout,CV_RGB2GRAY); // or CV_RGB2XXX
    // your code from here, the next is a example:
    int objects = face_detection(env, mout);
    // release object
    env->ReleaseIntArrayElements(frame, pFrameData, 0);
    return objects;
}
