ImageIO.read() takes InputStream as a parameter so there is no meaning of casting it to ImageInputStream.

Secondly you can not cast an InputStreamReader object to ImageInputStream because ImageInputStream has nothing to do with InputStreamReader which you thought of.

InputStream resourceBuff = YourClass.class.getResourceAsStream(filepath);
BufferedImage bf = ImageIO.read(resourceBuff);
