so, im doing an image detection which i have to process on each red, green, n blue element to get the edge map and combine them become one to show the output. but it doesnt show my output image would anyone pls be kind enough to help me? here is my code so far.

//get the red element
        process_red = new int[width * height];
        counter = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
        {
                for(int j = 0; j < 256; j++)
                {
                        int clr = buff_red.getRGB(j, i);
                        int red = (clr & 0x00ff0000) >> 16;
                        red = (0xFF<<24)|(red<<16)|(red<<8)|red;
                        process_red[counter] = red;
                        counter++;
                }
        }

        for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
        {
            for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
            {
                int bin = (buff_red.getRGB(x, y) & 0x000000ff);
                if (bin < threshold)
                    bin = 0;
                else
                    bin = 255;
                buff_red.setRGB(x,y, 0xff000000 | bin << 16 | bin << 8 | bin);
            }
        }

and i do the same way for my green n blue elements. and then i wanted to get to combination of the three by doing it this way:

//combine the three elements
process_combine = new int[width * height];
counter = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
    for(int j = 0; j < 256; j++) {
        int clr_a = buff_red.getRGB(j, i);
        int ar = clr_a & 0x000000ff;
        int clr_b = buff_green.getRGB(j, i);
        int bg = clr_b & 0x000000ff;
        int clr_c = buff_blue.getRGB(j, i);
        int cb = clr_b & 0x000000ff;
        int alpha = 0xff000000;
        int combine = alpha|(ar<<16)|(bg<<8)|cb;
        process_combine[counter] = combine;
        counter++;
     }
}
buff_rgb = new BufferedImage(width,height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics rgb;
rgb = buff_rgb.getGraphics();
rgb.drawImage(output_rgb, 0, 0, null);
rgb.dispose();
repaint();

and to show the output whic is from the combining process, i use a draw method:
g.drawImage(buff_rgb,800,100,this);

but still it doesnt show the image. can anyone pls help me? ur help is really appreciated. thanks.
