Java: Detecting image format, resize (scale) and save as JPEG

Question

This is the code I have, it actually works, not perfectly but it does, the problem is that the resized thumbnails are not pasting on the white Drawn rectangle, breaking the images aspect ratio, here is the code, could someone suggest me a fix for it, please?

Thank you

 // Re-scaling image

   int targetHeight) {

  try {
   InputStream imageStream = new BufferedInputStream(
     new ByteArrayInputStream(originalImage));
   Image image = (Image) ImageIO.read(imageStream);

   int thumbWidth = targetWidth;
   int thumbHeight = targetHeight;

   // Make sure the aspect ratio is maintained, so the image is not skewed
         double thumbRatio = (double)thumbWidth / (double)thumbHeight;
         int imageWidth = image.getWidth(null);
         int imageHeight = image.getHeight(null);
         double imageRatio = (double)imageWidth / (double)imageHeight;
         if (thumbRatio < imageRatio) {
           thumbHeight = (int)(thumbWidth / imageRatio);
         } else {
           thumbWidth = (int)(thumbHeight * imageRatio);
         }

   // Draw the scaled image
   BufferedImage thumbImage = new BufferedImage(thumbWidth,
     thumbHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
   System.out.println("Thumb width Buffered: " + thumbWidth + " || Thumb height Buffered: " + thumbHeight);

   Graphics2D graphics2D = thumbImage.createGraphics();
   // Use of BILNEAR filtering to enable smooth scaling
   graphics2D.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
     RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
   // graphics2D.drawImage(image, 0, 0, thumbWidth, thumbHeight, null);

   // White Background
   graphics2D.setPaint(Color.WHITE);
   graphics2D.fill(new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, targetWidth,
     targetHeight));
   graphics2D.fillRect(0, 0, targetWidth, targetHeight);

   System.out.println("Target width: " + targetWidth + " || Target height: " + targetHeight);

   // insert the resized thumbnail between X and Y of the image 
   graphics2D.drawImage(image, 0, 0, thumbWidth, thumbHeight, null);

   System.out.println("Thumb width: " + thumbWidth + " || Thumb height: " + thumbHeight);

   // Write the scaled image to the outputstream
   ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
   ImageIO.write(thumbImage, OUTPUT_FORMAT_ID, out);
   return out.toByteArray();

  } catch (IOException ioe) {
   throw new ImageResizingException(ioe);
  }
 }

}

Solution

You can easily scale your image by using Image's getScaledInstance method:

BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File("image.jpg"));
int scaleX = (int) (img.getWidth() * 0.5);
int scaleY = (int) (img.getHeight() * 0.5);

Image newImg = img.getScaledInstance(scaleX, scaleY, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);

Once you've obtained your scaled Image you can "convert" it back into a BufferedImage as described here.

Finally, use the ImageIO class to write your BufferedImage to a file.

The scaling needs to be dynamic depending of the target Canvas container. Anyway, Ive solved it my self with a good refactoring and a couple of logic fixes. Thank you anyway

link does not work. hints for Image to BufferedImage transformation?

[Adamski]

Which link doesn't work? I just tried them all and they seem ok.

getScaledInstance may not be your best friend: today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/04/03/…
