OpenCV Computer Vision with Java

Chapter 2. Handling Matrices, Files, Cameras, and GUIs

This chapter will enable you to perform basic operations required in computer vision, such as dealing with matrices, opening files, capturing videos from a camera, playing videos, and creating GUIs for prototype applications.

In this chapter, the following topics will be covered:

  • Basic matrix manipulation
  • Pixel manipulation
  • How to load and display images from files
  • How to capture a video from a camera
  • Video playback
  • Swing GUI's integration with OpenCV

By the end of this chapter, you should be able to get this computer vision application started by loading images and creating nice GUIs to manipulate them.

Basic matrix manipulation

From a computer vision background, we can see an image as a matrix of numerical values, which represents its pixels. For a gray-level image, we usually assign values ranging from 0 (black) to 255 (white) and the numbers in between show a mixture of both. These are generally 8-bit images. So, each element of the matrix refers to each pixel on the gray-level image, the number of columns refers to the image width, as well as the number of rows refers to the image's height. In order to represent a color image, we usually adopt each pixel as a combination of three basic colors: red, green, and blue. So, each pixel in the matrix is represented by a triplet of colors.

Note

It is important to observe that with 8 bits, we get 2 to the power of eight (28), which is 256. So, we can represent the range from 0 to 255, which includes, respectively the values used for black and white levels in 8-bit grayscale images. Besides this, we can also represent these levels as floating...

Pixel manipulation

Pixel manipulation is often required for one to access pixels in an image. There are several ways to do this and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. A straightforward method to do this is the put(row, col, value) method. For instance, in order to fill our preceding matrix with values {1, 2, 3}, we will use the following code:

for(int i=0;i<image.rows();i++){
  for(int j=0;j<image.cols();j++){ 
    image.put(i, j, new byte[]{1,2,3});
  }
}

Tip

Note that in the array of bytes {1, 2, 3}, for our matrix, 1 stands for the blue channel, 2 for the green, and 3 for the red channel, as OpenCV stores its matrix internally in the BGR (blue, green, and red) format.

It is okay to access pixels this way for small matrices. The only problem is the overhead of JNI calls for big images. Remember that even a small 640 x 480 pixel image has 307,200 pixels and if we think about a colored image, it has 921,600 values in a matrix. Imagine that it might take around 50ms to make...

Loading and displaying images from files

Most computer vision applications need to retrieve images from some where. In case you need to get them from files, OpenCV comes with several image file loaders. Unfortunately, some loaders depend on codecs that sometimes aren't shipped with the operating system, which might cause them not to load. From the documentation, we see that the following files are supported with some caveats:

  • Windows bitmaps: *.bmp, *.dib
  • JPEG files: *.jpeg, *.jpg, *.jpe
  • JPEG 2000 files: *.jp2
  • Portable Network Graphics: *.png
  • Portable image format: *.pbm, *.pgm, *.ppm
  • Sun rasters: *.sr, *.ras
  • TIFF files: *.tiff, *.tif

Note that Windows bitmaps, the portable image format, and sun raster formats are supported by all platforms, but the other formats depend on a few details. In Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, OpenCV can always read the jpeg, png, and tiff formats. In Linux, OpenCV will look for codecs supplied with the OS, as stated by the documentation, so remember to install...

Displaying an image with Swing

OpenCV developers are used to a simple cross-platform GUI by OpenCV, which was called as HighGUI, and a handy method called imshow. It constructs a window easily and displays an image within it, which is nice to create quick prototypes. As Java comes with a popular GUI API called Swing, we had better use it. Besides, no imshow method was available for Java until its 2.4.7.0 version was released. On the other hand, it is pretty simple to create such functionality. Refer to the reference code in chapter2/swing-imageshow.

Let's break down the work in to two classes: App and ImageViewer. The App class will be responsible for loading the file, while ImageViewer will display it. The application's work is simple and will only need to use Imgcodecs's imread method, which is shown as follows:

package org.javaopencvbook;

import java.io.File;
…
import org.opencv.imgcodecs.Imgcodecs;

public class App
{
  static{ System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME...

Capturing a video from a camera

The process of capturing frames from a webcam is very complex and it involves hardware details as well as heavy decoding or decompression algorithms. Fortunately, OpenCV has wrapped it all in a simple, yet powerful class called VideoCapture. This class not only grabs an image from a webcam, but also reads video files. In case more advanced access to a camera is required, you may want to use its specialized drivers.

You can think of a video stream as a series of pictures and you can retrieve each image in Mat and process it as you like. In order to use the VideoCapture class to capture a webcam stream, you need to instantiate it using the VideoCapture(int device) constructor. Note that the constructor parameter refers to the camera index in case you have several cameras. So, if you have one built-in camera and one USB camera and you create a videocapture object, such as new VideoCapture(1), then this object will refer to your built-in camera, while new VideoCapture...

My problems with OpenCV were related to the installation of jdk8.0 and to make opencv compile and run on linux. Once installed you need to know about ant, eclipse, netbeans or maven.No easy for beginners but with internet and time.... Once the difficult installation done, you can find most informations on the site opencv.org.Why then 4 stars: This book is a good start for java opencv but not enough information are given about the installation and the reader is left alone to find links in internet for additional help

Das Buch beginnt sehr gut brauchbar, auch für Anfänger: Installation von OpenCV unter Eclipse, NetBeans..... Auch das erste Fallbeispiel, ein einfacher Grafik-Filter, ist noch sehr ausführlich erklärt. Danach wird das Buch schnell anspruchsvoller. Für mich - Java-Anfänger - ist das Buch dennoch insgesamt recht gut, weil viele verschiedene Methoden von OpenCV und Swing dargestellt werden. Macht Appetit nach mehr! Ich pesönlich möchte mich in Richtung Objekterkennung weiter entwickeln. Hierzu sind einige wenige Methoden beschrieben. Wer "nur" anwenden will, findet sicher Gefallen an der Begleitsoftware, die von der Verleger-Seite herunter geladen werden kann.

A book dealing with a software library should give an overview over the library like structure, classes,.. I did not find anything like that in the book. It's just a collection of short examples.There are many mistakes in the sample code:The Java-Wrapper has switched rows and columns compared to C++, so you always get only one line from the Hough-Transformation, if you look on the cols instead of the rows of the result. The Canny-Function does not accept aperture > 7, and so on....If you know Java, you will not learn much about Computer Vision from this book. If you know Computer Vision you will not learn much about Java. There's just a lot of source code to fill the pages..
