      • imread

        public static Mat imread​(java.lang.String filename,
                         int flags)
        Loads an image from a file. imread The imread function loads an image from the specified file and returns OpenCV matrix. If the image cannot be read (because of a missing file, improper permissions, or unsupported/invalid format), the function returns an empty matrix. Currently, the following file formats are supported:
        • Windows bitmaps - \*.bmp, \*.dib (always supported)
        • JPEG files - \*.jpeg, \*.jpg, \*.jpe (see the *Note* section)
        • JPEG 2000 files - \*.jp2 (see the *Note* section)
        • Portable Network Graphics - \*.png (see the *Note* section)
        • WebP - \*.webp (see the *Note* section)
        • AVIF - \*.avif (see the *Note* section)
        • Portable image format - \*.pbm, \*.pgm, \*.ppm, \*.pxm, \*.pnm (always supported)
        • PFM files - \*.pfm (see the *Note* section)
        • Sun rasters - \*.sr, \*.ras (always supported)
        • TIFF files - \*.tiff, \*.tif (see the *Note* section)
        • OpenEXR Image files - \*.exr (see the *Note* section)
        • Radiance HDR - \*.hdr, \*.pic (always supported)
        • Raster and Vector geospatial data supported by GDAL (see the *Note* section)
        Note:
        • The function determines the type of an image by its content, not by the file extension.
        • In the case of color images, the decoded images will have the channels stored in B G R order.
        • When using IMREAD_GRAYSCALE, the codec's internal grayscale conversion will be used, if available. Results may differ from the output of cvtColor().
        • On Microsoft Windows\* and Mac OS\*, the codecs shipped with OpenCV (libjpeg, libpng, libtiff, and libjasper) are used by default. So, OpenCV can always read JPEGs, PNGs, and TIFFs. On Mac OS, there is also an option to use native Mac OS image readers. However, beware that currently these native image loaders give images with different pixel values because of the color management embedded into Mac OS.
        • On Linux\*, BSD flavors, and other Unix-like open-source operating systems, OpenCV looks for codecs supplied with the OS. Ensure the relevant packages are installed (including development files, such as "libjpeg-dev" in Debian\* and Ubuntu\*) to get codec support, or turn on the OPENCV_BUILD_3RDPARTY_LIBS flag in CMake.
        • If the *WITH_GDAL* flag is set to true in CMake and REF: IMREAD_LOAD_GDAL is used to load the image, the [GDAL](http://www.gdal.org) driver will be used to decode the image, supporting [Raster](http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html) and [Vector](http://www.gdal.org/ogr_formats.html) formats.
        • If EXIF information is embedded in the image file, the EXIF orientation will be taken into account, and thus the image will be rotated accordingly unless the flags REF: IMREAD_IGNORE_ORIENTATION or REF: IMREAD_UNCHANGED are passed.
        • Use the IMREAD_UNCHANGED flag to preserve the floating-point values from PFM images.
        • By default, the number of pixels must be less than 2^30. This limit can be changed by setting the environment variable OPENCV_IO_MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS. See REF: tutorial_env_reference.
        Parameters:
        filename - Name of the file to be loaded.
        flags - Flag that can take values of cv::ImreadModes.
        Returns:
        automatically generated

                              MatOfInt params)
        Saves an image to a specified file. The function imwrite saves the image to the specified file. The image format is chosen based on the filename extension (see cv::imread for the list of extensions). In general, only 8-bit unsigned (CV_8U) single-channel or 3-channel (with 'BGR' channel order) images can be saved using this function, with these exceptions:
        • With OpenEXR encoder, only 32-bit float (CV_32F) images can be saved.
          • 8-bit unsigned (CV_8U) images are not supported.
        • With Radiance HDR encoder, non 64-bit float (CV_64F) images can be saved.
          • All images will be converted to 32-bit float (CV_32F).
        • With JPEG 2000 encoder, 8-bit unsigned (CV_8U) and 16-bit unsigned (CV_16U) images can be saved.
        • With PAM encoder, 8-bit unsigned (CV_8U) and 16-bit unsigned (CV_16U) images can be saved.
        • With PNG encoder, 8-bit unsigned (CV_8U) and 16-bit unsigned (CV_16U) images can be saved.
          • PNG images with an alpha channel can be saved using this function. To do this, create 8-bit (or 16-bit) 4-channel image BGRA, where the alpha channel goes last. Fully transparent pixels should have alpha set to 0, fully opaque pixels should have alpha set to 255/65535 (see the code sample below).
        • With PGM/PPM encoder, 8-bit unsigned (CV_8U) and 16-bit unsigned (CV_16U) images can be saved.
        • With TIFF encoder, 8-bit unsigned (CV_8U), 8-bit signed (CV_8S), 16-bit unsigned (CV_16U), 16-bit signed (CV_16S), 32-bit unsigned (CV_32U), 32-bit signed (CV_32S), 64-bit unsigned (CV_64U), 64-bit signed (CV_64S), 32-bit float (CV_32F) and 64-bit float (CV_64F) images can be saved.
          • Multiple images (vector of Mat) can be saved in TIFF format (see the code sample below).
          • 32-bit float 3-channel (CV_32FC3) TIFF images will be saved using the LogLuv high dynamic range encoding (4 bytes per pixel)
          If the image format is not supported, the image will be converted to 8-bit unsigned (CV_8U) and saved that way.
        If the format, depth or channel order is different, use Mat::convertTo and cv::cvtColor to convert it before saving. Or, use the universal FileStorage I/O functions to save the image to XML or YAML format. The sample below shows how to create a BGRA image, how to set custom compression parameters and save it to a PNG file. It also demonstrates how to save multiple images in a TIFF file: INCLUDE: snippets/imgcodecs_imwrite.cpp
        Parameters:
        filename - Name of the file.
        img - (Mat or vector of Mat) Image or Images to be saved.
        params - Format-specific parameters encoded as pairs (paramId_1, paramValue_1, paramId_2, paramValue_2, ... .) see cv::ImwriteFlags

        automatically generated

      • haveImageReader

        public static boolean haveImageReader​(java.lang.String filename)
        Checks if the specified image file can be decoded by OpenCV. The function haveImageReader checks if OpenCV is capable of reading the specified file. This can be useful for verifying support for a given image format before attempting to load an image.
        Parameters:
        filename - The name of the file to be checked.
        Returns:
        true if an image reader for the specified file is available and the file can be opened, false otherwise. Note: The function checks the availability of image codecs that are either built into OpenCV or dynamically loaded.

This can be useful for verifying support for a given image format before attempting to save an image.
        Parameters:
        filename - The name of the file or the file extension (e.g., ".jpg", ".png"). It is recommended to provide the file extension rather than the full file name.
        Returns:
        true if an image writer for the specified extension is available, false otherwise. Note: The function checks the availability of image codecs that are either built into OpenCV or dynamically loaded. It does not check for the actual existence of the file but rather the ability to write files of the given type. SEE: cv::haveImageReader, cv::imwrite, cv::imencode
