Hello,

is there a way, using the Java bindings to OpenCV, to load an image from an InputStream, knowing only the format of the image (tiff, in my example). I'd like to load images from the Web or from other potential sources (hdfs) ?

Thank you

Here is the helper-method that I wrote to actually perform this task:

private static Mat readInputStreamIntoMat(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
    // Read into byte-array
    byte[] temporaryImageInMemory = readStream(inputStream);

    // Decode into mat. Use any IMREAD_ option that describes your image appropriately
    Mat outputImage = Highgui.imdecode(new MatOfByte(temporaryImageInMemory), Highgui.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE);

    return outputImage;
}

private static byte[] readStream(InputStream stream) throws IOException {
    // Copy content of the image to byte-array
    ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int nRead;
    byte[] data = new byte[16384];

    while ((nRead = stream.read(data, 0, data.length)) != -1) {
        buffer.write(data, 0, nRead);
    }

    buffer.flush();
    byte[] temporaryImageInMemory = buffer.toByteArray();
    buffer.close();
    stream.close();
    return temporaryImageInMemory;
}

@AlexanderPacha Today I realized it wasnt fully working. When the inFile(Source) is a jpg on Mysql Database it works but when it is a png on Database I get the error below (Not enough space). PS: On my local computer both jpg and png work :( without the inputStream stuff.

Make sure to use the correct format for imdecode(). The assertion fails, if the provided data did not match the image-format that was expected (= specified).

Highgui.imencode(ext, img, buf); maybe what you want

Okay here's what to do (in Scala. It's the same in Java) (cannot answer my own question cause I'm a newbie on this forum)

val inputStream : InputStream = ... val buf : Array[Byte] = ... //dump the content of the stream in this array val matBuf = new MatOfByte() matBuf.fromArray(buf: _*) //trick to use a scala array as a java varargs val mat = Highgui.imdecode(matBuf, Highgui.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED) //tadaaaaaaaa
