Java DIP - Adding Border
In this chapter we learn to add different types of borders to an image.
We use OpenCV function copyMakeBorder. It can be found under Imgproc package. Its syntax is given below −
Imgproc.copyMakeBorder(source,destination,top,bottom,left,right,borderType);
The parameters are described below −
Sr.No. | Parameter & Description |
---|---|
1 |
source It is source image. |
2 |
destination It is destination image. |
3 |
top It is the length in pixels of the border at the top of the image. |
4 |
bottom Length in pixels of the border at the bottom of the image. |
5 |
left It is the length in pixels of the border at the left of the image. |
6 |
right It is the length in pixels of the border at the right of the image. |
7 |
borderType It defines the type of border. The possible borders are BORDER_REPLICATE, BORDER_REFLECT, BORDER_WRAP, BORDER_CONSTANT etc. |
Apart from the copyMakeBorder() method, there are other methods provide by the Imgproc class. They are described briefly −
Sr.No. | Method & Description |
---|---|
1 |
cvtColor(Mat src, Mat dst, int code, int dstCn) It converts an image from one color space to another. |
2 |
dilate(Mat src, Mat dst, Mat kernel) It dilates an image by using a specific structuring element. |
3 |
equapzeHist(Mat src, Mat dst) It equapzes the histogram of a grayscale image. |
4 |
filter2D(Mat src, Mat dst, int depth, Mat kernel, Point anchor, double delta) It convolves an image with the kernel. |
5 |
GaussianBlur(Mat src, Mat dst, Size ksize, double sigmaX) It blurs an image using a Gaussian filter. |
6 |
integral(Mat src, Mat sum) It calculates the integral of an image. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of Imgproc class to add border to an image −
import org.opencv.core.Core; import org.opencv.core.CvType; import org.opencv.core.Mat; import org.opencv.highgui.Highgui; import org.opencv.imgproc.Imgproc; pubpc class main { pubpc static void main( String[] args ) { try { System.loadLibrary( Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME ); Mat source = Highgui.imread("digital_image_processing.jpg", Highgui.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR); Mat destination = new Mat(source.rows(),source.cols(),source.type()); int top, bottom, left, right; int borderType; /// Initiapze arguments for the filter top = (int) (0.05*source.rows()); bottom = (int) (0.05*source.rows()); left = (int) (0.05*source.cols()); right = (int) (0.05*source.cols()); destination = source; Imgproc.copyMakeBorder(source, destination, top, bottom, left, right, Imgproc.BORDER_WRAP); Highgui.imwrite("borderWrap.jpg", destination); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("error: " + e.getMessage()); } } }
Output
When you execute the given code, the following output is seen −
