Logic Used:
Insert Pixel Data into a struct containing RGB values of the pixels
read Data in a 3x3 array: | BGR(-1,-1) | BGR(-1,0) | BGR(-1,1) |
| BGR(0,-1) | BGR(0,0) | BGR(0,1) |
| BGR(1,-1) | BGR(1,0) | BGR(1,1) |
Assign Average of all Blue,Green,Red components respectively to another struct containing RGB values and write the same
to the output file

Problem:Unexpected output,as seen in the bmp files attached in mail.The output image is supposed to be almost the same,except a little blurred.

I would really appreciate it and be extremely grateful if someone could help me out with this problem.....or at least redirect me to some place where i can find an answer.I have been trying to solve this problem for at least a week now.
Or if someone could help me with a better way to implement an averaging filters algorithm.....Please

I would suggest creating at least one function, getPixel, to make your code more readable. Post this new code and i'll try to take a look.
