Crop image to smallest size by removing transparent pixels in java

Question

I have a sprite sheet which has each image centered in a 32x32 cell. The actual images are not 32x32, but slightly smaller. What I\'d like to do is take a cell and crop the tr

[Hi I tried the following. In the images file idle1.png is the image with a big transparent box while testing.png is the same image with minimum bounding box

'BufferedImage tempImg = (ImageIO.read(new File(fileNPath)));
                WritableRaster tempRaster = tempImg.getAlphaRaster();
                int x1 = getX1(tempRaster);
                int y1 = getY1(tempRaster);
                int x2 = getX2(tempRaster);
                int y2 = getY2(tempRaster);
                System.out.println("x1:"+x1+" y1:"+y1+" x2:"+x2+" y2:"+y2);
                BufferedImage temp = tempImg.getSubimage(x1, y1, x2 - x1, y2 - y1);

                //for idle1.png
                String filePath = fileChooser.getCurrentDirectory() + "\\"+"testing.png";
                System.out.println("filePath:"+filePath);
                ImageIO.write(temp,"png",new File(filePath));

where the get functions are

public int getY1(WritableRaster raster) { //top of character

    for (int y = 0; y < raster.getHeight(); y++) {
        for (int x = 0; x < raster.getWidth(); x++) {
            if (raster.getSample(x, y,0) != 0) {
                if(y>0) {
                    return y - 1;
                }else{
                    return y;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

public int getY2(WritableRaster raster) {
    //ground plane of character

    for (int y = raster.getHeight()-1; y > 0; y--) {
        for (int x = 0; x < raster.getWidth(); x++) {
            if (raster.getSample(x, y,0) != 0) {
                return y + 1;
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

public int getX1(WritableRaster raster) {
    //left side of character

    for (int x = 0; x < raster.getWidth(); x++) {
        for (int y = 0; y < raster.getHeight(); y++) {
            if (raster.getSample(x, y,0) != 0) {
                if(x > 0){
                    return x - 1;
                }else{
                    return x;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

public int getX2(WritableRaster raster) {
    //right side of character

    for (int x = raster.getWidth()-1; x > 0; x--) {
        for (int y = 0; y < raster.getHeight(); y++) {
            if (raster.getSample(x, y,0) != 0) {
                return x + 1;
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
