Java's example code for image processing using OpenCV

introduction

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source computer vision library that is widely used in the fields of image processing, machine learning, and computer vision. Although OpenCV is mainly developed in C/C++, it also provides bindings for Java, allowing Java developers to take advantage of its powerful image processing capabilities. In this article, we will explain in detail how to use OpenCV in Java, including environment configuration, basic image processing operations, and sample code.

1. Environmental preparation

1.1 Install OpenCV

First, you need to download the OpenCV library. CanOpenCV official websiteDownload the latest version of OpenCV. After downloading, unzip the file and find the opencv-<version>/build/java directory, which contains opencv-<version>.jar and opencv_java<version>.dll (Windows) or libopencv_java<version>.so (Linux).

1.2 Configuring Java Projects

Next, we need to configure OpenCV in our Java project. Taking the Maven project as an example, you canAdd OpenCV's JAR file:

&lt;dependencies&gt;
    &lt;dependency&gt;
        &lt;groupId&gt;&lt;/groupId&gt;
        &lt;artifactId&gt;opencv&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;4.5.3&lt;/version&gt; &lt;!-- Please update according to the actual downloaded version --&gt;
    &lt;/dependency&gt;
&lt;/dependencies&gt;

If you are not using Maven, you can directlyopencv-<version>.jarAdd to the build path of the project.

1.3 Loading the OpenCV library

In the code, you need to load the local library of OpenCV in order to use its functions:

static {
    (Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);
}

2. Basic image processing operations

When using OpenCV for image processing, common operations include reading images, displaying images, image conversion, edge detection, etc.

2.1 Read and display images

Here is a simple example showing how to read and display an image:

import ;
import ;
import ;
import ;

public class ImageDisplay {
    static {
        (Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Read the image        Mat image = ("path/to/your/");

        // Check whether the image is successfully read        if (()) {
            ("Could not open or find the image!");
            return;
        }

        // Show image        ("Loaded Image", image);
        (0); // Wait for button    }
}

2.2 Image conversion (grayscale image)

Example of converting a color image to a grayscale image:

import ;
import ;
import ;
import ;
import ;

public class ImageConversion {
    static {
        (Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Read the image        Mat colorImage = ("path/to/your/");
        Mat grayImage = new Mat();

        // Convert to grayscale image        (colorImage, grayImage, Imgproc.COLOR_BGR2GRAY);

        // Save grayscale images        ("output/gray_image.jpg", grayImage);
    }
}

2.3 Edge detection

Example using Canny edge detection algorithm:

import ;
import ;
import ;
import ;

public class EdgeDetection {
    static {
        (Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Read the image        Mat image = ("path/to/your/");
        Mat edges = new Mat();

        // Convert to grayscale image        Mat grayImage = new Mat();
        (image, grayImage, Imgproc.COLOR_BGR2GRAY);

        // Use Canny algorithm for edge detection        (grayImage, edges, 100, 200);

        // Save edge detection results        ("output/", edges);
    }
}

3. Advanced operation

3.1 Image Smoothing

Image smoothing is used to reduce noise in the image, and methods such as mean blur and Gaussian blur can be used.

import ;
import ;
import ;
import ;

public class ImageSmoothing {
    static {
        (Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Read the image        Mat image = ("path/to/your/");
        Mat smoothedImage = new Mat();

        // Use Gaussian Fuzzy        (image, smoothedImage, new (15, 15), 0);

        // Save the smoothed image        ("output/smoothed_image.jpg", smoothedImage);
    }
}

3.2 Contour detection

Contour detection is used to extract the shape of an object.

import .*;
import ;
import ;

import ;
import ;

public class ContourDetection {
    static {
        (Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Read the image        Mat image = ("path/to/your/");
        Mat grayImage = new Mat();
        Mat edges = new Mat();

        // Convert to grayscale image        (image, grayImage, Imgproc.COLOR_BGR2GRAY);
        // Use Canny algorithm for edge detection        (grayImage, edges, 100, 200);

        // Detect the profile        List&lt;MatOfPoint&gt; contours = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;();
        Mat hierarchy = new Mat();
        (edges, contours, hierarchy, Imgproc.RETR_TREE, Imgproc.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE);

        // Draw outlines        Mat contourImage = ((), ());
        for (MatOfPoint contour : contours) {
            (contourImage, contours, -1, new Scalar(0, 255, 0), 2);
        }

        // Save outline image        ("output/", contourImage);
    }
}
