OpenCV - Lendo uma imagem como escala de cinza

O programa a seguir demonstra como ler uma imagem colorida em tons de cinza e exibi-la usando a janela JavaFX. Aqui, lemos a imagem passando a bandeiraIMREAD_GRAYSCALE junto com a corda segurando o caminho de uma imagem colorida.

import javafx.scene.image.WritableImage;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class ReadingAsGrayscale extends Application {
   @Override
   public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
      WritableImage writableImage = loadAndConvert();

      // Setting the image view
      ImageView imageView = new ImageView(writableImage);

      // Setting the position of the image
      imageView.setX(10);
      imageView.setY(10);

      // setting the fit height and width of the image view
      imageView.setFitHeight(400);
      imageView.setFitWidth(600);
      
      // Setting the preserve ratio of the image view
      imageView.setPreserveRatio(true);
      
      // Creating a Group object  
      Group root = new Group(imageView);
      
      // Creating a scene object
      Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);
      
      // Setting title to the Stage
      stage.setTitle("Reading image as grayscale");
      
      // Adding scene to the stage
      stage.setScene(scene);

      stage.show();
   }

      System.loadLibrary( Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME );

      // Instantiating the imagecodecs class
      Imgcodecs imageCodecs = new Imgcodecs();

      String input = "C:/EXAMPLES/OpenCV/sample.jpg";

      // Reading the image
      Mat src = imageCodecs.imread(input, Imgcodecs.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE);
       
      byte[] data1 = new byte[src.rows() * src.cols() * (int)(src.elemSize())];
      src.get(0, 0, data1);
      
      // Creating the buffered image
      BufferedImage bufImage = new BufferedImage(src.cols(),src.rows(), 
         BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_GRAY);
      
      // Setting the data elements to the image
      bufImage.getRaster().setDataElements(0, 0, src.cols(), src.rows(), data1);
              
      // Creating a WritableImage
      WritableImage writableImage = SwingFXUtils.toFXImage(bufImage, null);
      System.out.println("Image Read");
      return writableImage;
   } 
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { 
      launch(args); 
   } 
}
