Loading screenshot into Mat












0














I am using a Robot to capture a screenshot. In order to avoid unnecessary I/O of writing the BufferedImage on disk and then loading it back up into a Mat I am trying to load the BufferedImage directly into a Mat with the following code.



public static Mat screenShot() throws AWTException, IOException {

Robot r = new Robot();
Rectangle capture = new Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
BufferedImage Image = r.createScreenCapture(capture);
Mat mat = new Mat(Image.getHeight(), Image.getWidth(), CvType.CV_8UC1);
byte data = ((DataBufferByte) Image.getRaster().getDataBuffer()).getData();
mat.put(0, 0, data);
return mat;

}


I am getting this error:



Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.awt.image.DataBufferInt cannot be cast to java.awt.image.DataBufferByte


How might I go about circumventing this issue?

  • It doesn't really help me as I can't change the type of my BufferedImage since it gets initialized by the return of my robot's screencapture.

I found a workaround on this thread, ultraviolet's response deals with the issue.



Working code:



public static Mat screenShot() throws AWTException, IOException {

Robot r = new Robot();
Rectangle capture = new Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
BufferedImage Image = r.createScreenCapture(capture);
Mat mat = BufferedImage2Mat(Image);

return mat;

}

public static Mat BufferedImage2Mat(BufferedImage image) throws IOException {

ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", byteArrayOutputStream);
byteArrayOutputStream.flush();
return Imgcodecs.imdecode(new MatOfByte(byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray()), Imgcodecs.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED);

}
