The HighGui class of the org.opencv.highgui package allows you to create and manipulate windows and display them. You can display an image in a window using the imshow() method of this class. This method accepts two parameters−A string variable representing the name of the window.A Mat object representing the contents ... Read More

Erosion and dilation are the two basic morphological operations. As the name implies, morphological operations are the set of operations that process images according to their shapes.During dilation operation additional pixels are added to an image boundary and, during erosion operation, additional pixels are removed from image boundaries, The total ...

You can add text to an image using the putText() method of the org.opencv.imgproc.Imgproc class. This method renders the specified text in the given image. It accepts −An empty mat object to store the source image.A string object to specify the desired text.A Point object specifying the position of the ... Read More

You can fit an ellipse over a shape using the fitEllipse() method of the org.opencv.imgproc.Imgproc class. This method accepts an object of MatOfPoint2f class, calculates the ellipse that would fit the given set of points and returns a RotatedRect object.Using this you can draw ellipses around the possible objects in an ...

Contours is nothing but the line joining all the points along the boundary of a particular shape. Using this you can −Find the shape of an object.Calculate the area of an object.Detect an object.Recognize an object.You can find the contours of various shapes, objects in an image using the findContours() ...

If you try to read an image using the OpenCV imread() method it returns a Mat object. If you want to display the contents of the resultant Mat object using an AWT/Swings window You need to convert the Mat object to an object of the class java.awt.image.BufferedImage. To do so, ... Read More

You can compute the bitwise conjunction between two images using the bitwise_not() method of the org.opencv.core.Core class.This method accepts two Mat objects representing the source and destination matrices, calculates the inverse of each element in the source matrix and stores the result in the destination matrix.Exampleimport org.opencv.core.Core; import org.opencv.core.Mat; import ...
