How to flip an image using Java OpenCV library?



The flip() method of the Core class of OpenCV flips an image along the x/y axis. This method accepts −

  • A source matrix congaing the data of the original image.

  • An empty destination matrix to hold the data of the resultant image.

  • A flip code to specify the direction of the image (0 –x axis, +ve – y axis, – ve both the axes).

To flip an image −

  • Load the OpenCV core native library, using the loadLibrary() method.

  • Read the contents of the image file to a matrix using the imread() method.

  • Create an empty matric to hold the result.

  • Invoke the flip() method by passing the above-created matrices.

  • Create an image using the imwrite() method, bypassing the destination matrix as a parameter.

Example

import org.opencv.core.Core;
import org.opencv.core.Mat;
import org.opencv.imgcodecs.Imgcodecs;
public class ChangingOrientation {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      //Loading the OpenCV core library
      System.loadLibrary( Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME );
      //Reading the Image from the file and storing it in to a Matrix object
      String file ="D:\Images\cat.jpg";
      Mat src = Imgcodecs.imread(file);
      //Creating an empty matrix to store the result
      Mat dst = new Mat();
      //Changing the orientation of an image
      Core.flip(src, dst, -1);
      //Writing the image
      Imgcodecs.imwrite("D:\Images\flipping.jpg", dst);
      System.out.println("Image Processed");
   }
}
