The java version of the sample code was downloaded and recompiled and works like a charm after some initial compiling issues. Since it is a socket connection, it allows the image to be processed on another computer if needed. Now all that is needed is to modify the program to do what we needed. The image comes as one gigantic one-dimensional array.. i.e. image_array(1st pixel blue, 1st pixel green, first pixel red, 2nd pixel blue, 2nd pixel green, 2nd pixel red,..) so the array might need to be converted into a 2d array to make coding the algorithm less challenging. But adding this addition step might slow down the processing.
