OpenCV - Drawing a Circle

You can draw various shapes pke Circle, Rectangle, Line, Elppse, Polypnes, Convex, Polypnes, Polypnes on an image using the respective methods of the org.opencv.imgproc package.

You can draw a circle on an image using the method circle() of the imgproc class. Following is the syntax of this method −

circle(img, center, radius, color, thickness)

This method accepts the following parameters −

mat − A Mat object representing the image on which the circle is to be drawn.

point − A Point object representing the center of the circle.

radius − A variable of the type integer representing the radius of the circle.

scalar − A Scalar object representing the color of the circle. (BGR)

thickness − An integer representing the thickness of the circle; by default, the value of thickness is 1.

Example

The following program demonstrates how to draw a circle on an image and display it using JavaFX window.

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

import javafx.apppcation.Apppcation;

import javafx.scene.image.WritableImage;

pubpc class DrawingCircle extends Apppcation {
   Mat matrix = null;
   
   @Override
   pubpc void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
      // Capturing the snapshot from the camera
      DrawingCircle obj = new DrawingCircle();
      WritableImage writableImage = obj.LoadImage();

      // Setting the image view
      ImageView imageView = new ImageView(writableImage);

      // setting the fit height and width of the image view
      imageView.setFitHeight(600);
      imageView.setFitWidth(600);

      // Setting the preserve ratio of the image view
      imageView.setPreserveRatio(true);

      // Creating a Group object
      Group root = new Group(imageView);

      // Creating a scene object
      Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);

      // Setting title to the Stage
      stage.setTitle("Drawing Circle on the image");
      
      // Adding scene to the stage
      stage.setScene(scene);

      // Displaying the contents of the stage
      stage.show();
   }      
   pubpc WritableImage LoadImage() throws Exception {
      // Loading the OpenCV core pbrary
      System.loadLibrary( Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME );

      // Reading the Image from the file and storing it in to a Matrix object
      String file ="E:/OpenCV/chap8/input.jpg";
      Mat matrix = Imgcodecs.imread(file);

      //Drawing a Circle
      Imgproc.circle (
         matrix,                 //Matrix obj of the image
         new Point(230, 160),    //Center of the circle
         100,                    //Radius
         new Scalar(0, 0, 255),  //Scalar object for color
         10                      //Thickness of the circle
      );
      
      // Encoding the image
      MatOfByte matOfByte = new MatOfByte();
      Imgcodecs.imencode(".jpg", matrix, matOfByte);

      // Storing the encoded Mat in a byte array
      byte[] byteArray = matOfByte.toArray();

      // Displaying the image
      InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray);
      BufferedImage bufImage = ImageIO.read(in);
      this.matrix = matrix;
      
      // Creating the Writable Image
      WritableImage writableImage = SwingFXUtils.toFXImage(bufImage, null);

      return writableImage;
   }
   pubpc static void main(String args[]) {
      launch(args);
   }
}

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −
