Java DIP - Applying Watermark
In this chapter we learn two ways of applying watermark on images. These ways are −
Applying Text Watermark
Applying Image watermark
Applying Text Watermark
We use OpenCV function putText to apply text watermark to image. It can be found under Core package. Its syntax is given below −
Core.putText(source, Text, Point, fontFace ,fontScale , color);
The parameters of this function are described below −
Sr.No. | Parameter & Description |
---|---|
1 |
Source It is source image. |
2 |
Text It is the string text that would appear on the image. |
3 |
Point It is the point where text should appear on image. |
4 |
fontFace Font type. For example − FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX etc. |
5 |
fontScale It is font scale factor that is multipped by the font-specific base size. |
6 |
color It is text color. |
Apart from the putText method, there are other methods provided by the Core class. They are described briefly −
Sr.No. | Method & Description |
---|---|
1 |
normapze(Mat src, Mat dst, double alpha, double beta, int norm_type) It normapzes the norm or value range of an array. |
2 |
perspectiveTransform(Mat src, Mat dst, Mat m) It performs the perspective matrix transformation of vectors. |
3 |
phase(Mat x, Mat y, Mat angle) It calculates the rotation angle of 2D vectors. |
4 |
rectangle(Mat img, Point pt1, Point pt2, Scalar color) It draws a simple, thick, or filled up-right rectangle. |
5 |
reduce(Mat src, Mat dst, int dim, int rtype, int dtype) It reduces a matrix to a vector. |
6 |
transform(Mat src, Mat dst, Mat m) It performs the matrix transformation of every array element. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of Core class to apply text watermark to an image −
import org.opencv.core.Core; 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()); Core.putText(source, "Tutorialspoint.com", new Point (source.rows()/2,source.cols()/2), Core.FONT_ITALIC,new Double(1),new Scalar(255)); Highgui.imwrite("watermarked.jpg", source); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Error: "+e.getMessage()); } } }
Output
When you execute the given code, the following output is seen −
Original Image
Text Watermarked Image
Applying Image Watermark on Image
We are going to use OpenCV function addWeighted to apply image watermark to image. It can be found under Core package. Its syntax is given below −
Core.addWeighted(InputArray src1, alpha, src2 (Watermark image), beta, gamma, OutputArray dst);
The parameters of this function are described below −
Sr.No. | Parameter & Description |
---|---|
1 |
src1 It is first input array. |
2 |
alpha It is the weight of the first array elements. |
3 |
src2 It is the second input array of the same size and channel number as src1. |
4 |
beta It is the weight of the second array elements. |
5 |
gamma It is the scalar added to each sum. |
6 |
dst It is the output array that has the same size and number of channels as the input arrays. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of Core class to apply image watermark to an image −
import org.opencv.core.Core; 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 waterMark = Highgui.imread("watermark.png", Highgui.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR); Rect ROI = new Rect(waterMark.rows() * 4,waterMark.cols(), waterMark.cols(),waterMark.rows()); Core.addWeighted(source.submat(ROI), 0.8, waterMark, 0.2, 1, source.submat(ROI)); Highgui.imwrite("watermarkedImage.jpg", source); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage()); } } }
Output
When you execute the given code, the following output is seen −
