Using OpenCV Java Bindings to read an image

Question

I'm using the new OpenCV Java bindings to read an image and do some processing on the image. I'm trying to convert C code to Java using the Java bindings but can't seem to find the relevant methods: C code: ``` cv::Mat img = cv::imread(argv[1]); cv::Mat gray; cv::cvtColor(img, gray, CV_BGR2GRAY); int erosion_size = 5; cv::Mat element = cv::getStructuringElement(cv::MORPH_CROSS, cv::Size(2 * erosion_size + 1, 2 * erosion_size + 1), cv::Point(erosion_size, erosion_size) ); cv::erode(gray, gray, element); ``` I can't find: - `imread` - `cvtcolor` - `getStructuringElement` - `erode` I looked around the api here: http://docs.opencv.org/java/ Unfortunately the sample java code provided doesn't even show how to read an image!

Accepted Answer

If you have correctly installed Opencv with support for Java desktop and included `opencv-2.4.4.jar` , your should import:

```
import org.opencv.imgproc.Imgproc;
import org.opencv.core.Point;
import org.opencv.core.Size;
import org.opencv.highgui.Highgui;
```

And your code will look like this:

```
Mat img = Highgui.imread(argv[1], Highgui.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);
int erosion_size = 5;
Mat element  = Imgproc.getStructuringElement(
    Imgproc.MORPH_CROSS, new Size(2 * erosion_size + 1, 2 * erosion_size + 1), 
    new Point(erosion_size, erosion_size)
);
Imgproc.erode(img, img, element);
```
