Java Image Translation example using OpenCV.

The warpAffine() method of the Imgproc class applies an affine transformation to the specified image. This method accepts −

• Three Mat objects representing the source, destination, and transformation matrices.

• An integer value representing the size of the output image.

To translate an image Create a translation matrix and pass it as a transformation matrix to this method along with the other parameters.
