Java programming in computer vision:
Key Concepts
1. Image Processing: Techniques for enhancing, filtering, and transforming images.
2. Feature Detection: Identifying points of interest in images, such as edges, corners, or blobs.
3. Object Recognition: Classifying objects within images using machine learning algorithms.
4. Tracking: Following objects or features across multiple frames in a video sequence.
Java Libraries for Computer Vision
1. OpenCV Java API: A Java wrapper for the popular OpenCV library, providing access to a wide range
of computer vision algorithms.
2. JavaCV: A Java library that provides a high-level interface for computer vision and image processing
tasks.
3. ImageJ: A Java-based image processing library that provides a wide range of algorithms for image
filtering, transformation, and analysis.
4. Weka: A Java library for machine learning that includes tools for image classification and object
recognition.
OpenCV Java API
1. Core: Basic data structures and operations, such as matrices and images.
2. Imgproc: Image processing functions, including filtering, thresholding, and feature detection.
3. Features2d: Feature detection and description algorithms, such as SIFT and SURF.
4. Video: Video processing functions, including tracking and motion analysis.
Example Code
Here's an example of using OpenCV Java API to capture video from a webcam and display it:
import org.opencv.core.Core;
import org.opencv.core.Mat;
import org.opencv.videoio.VideoCapture;
import org.opencv.videoio.Videoio;
import org.opencv.highgui.HighGui;
public class VideoCaptureExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Load the OpenCV library
System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);
// Create a new video capture object
VideoCapture capture = new VideoCapture(0);
// Create a new matrix to store the captured frame
Mat frame = new Mat();
while (true) {
// Capture a frame from the video stream
capture.read(frame);
// Display the captured frame
HighGui.imshow("Video Capture", frame);
// Wait for a key press
HighGui.waitKey(10);
}
}
}
This code captures video from the default webcam (index 0) and displays it in a window using
OpenCV's imshow function.
