pdfbox - rotation issue - image

As part of a project I am realizing, there are given pdfdocuments which include forms as JPEG Images within A4 pages inside this documents. If have to extract those JPGs out of the PDF. Later on those JPGs are used to build PDF Documents again.
When I simply open up those Documents with any PDFViewer they seem to have no rotation at all, at least it is not visible. So like this icon the have vertical format.
but when I use this sample code to extract the images :
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load("/path/to/file);
List pages = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
Iterator iter = pages.iterator();
int i = 0;
while (iter.hasNext()) {
PDPage page = (PDPage) iter.next();
System.out.println(page.getRotation());
System.out.println("ROTATION = " + page.getRotation());;
PDResources resources = page.getResources();
Map pageImages = resources.getXObjects();
if (pageImages != null) {
Iterator imageIter = pageImages.keySet().iterator();
while (imageIter.hasNext()) {
String key = (String) imageIter.next();
if(((PDXObjectImage) pageImages.get(key)) instanceof PDXObjectImage){
PDXObjectImage image = (PDXObjectImage) pageImages.get(key);
image.write2file("/path/to/file" + i);
}
i ++;
}
}
}
all extracted JPGs are horizontal format. Further the sysout on the page.rotation tells me that the rotation is set to 270°.
How is that possible? 270 is set, but the PDF is shown vertical (I am no expert on PDF). I even did page.setRotate(0) before extracting the JPGs, but the images still remain horizontally. I read the following Thread telling how to rotate images before drawing them on the pdf. But i need to rotate them before writing them on the filesystem. What is the best way to achieve that?
Unfortunately, I can not attach any of the documents since they are confidential.

How can I list and merge inline-images in a PDF file using IText7-dotnet?

I have several PDF documents that supposedly contain scanned images, but upon inspection in Acrobat Pro, each page contains a huge number of tiny "inline images". From what I understand these are not regular images inside XObjects, but rather images embedded directly inside content streams.
How could I go about extracting and merging these images?
The only code I could find online starts out like this:
var reader = new PdfReader(#"path\to\file.pdf");
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument(reader);
for (var i = 1; i <= document.GetNumberOfPages(); i++)
{
PdfDictionary obj = (PdfDictionary)document.GetPdfObject(i);
// ... more code goes here
}
...but the rest of the code doesn't work because the PdfDictionary returned from GetPdfObject is not a stream, only a dictionary. I don't know how to access the images inside it.

Writing Macro in ImageJ to open, change color, adjust brightness and resave microscope images

I'm trying to write a code in Image J that will:
Open all images in separate windows that contains "488" within a folder
Use look up tables to convert images to green and RGB color From ImageJ, the commands are: run("Green"); and run("RGB Color");
Adjust the brightness and contrast with defined values for Min and Max (same values for each image).
I know that the code for that is:
//run("Brightness/Contrast..."); setMinAndMax(value min, value max); run("Apply LUT");
Save each image in the same, original folder , in Tiff and with the same name but finishing with "processed".
I have no experience with Java and am very bad with coding. I tried to piece something together using code I found on stackoverflow and on the ImageJ website, but kept getting error codes. Any help is much appreciated!
I don't know if you still need it, but here is an example.
output_dir = "C:/Users/test/"
input_dir = "C:/Users/test/"
list = getFileList(input_dir);
listlength = list.length;
setBatchMode(true);
for (z = 0; z < listlength; z++){
if(endsWith(list[z], 'tif')==true ){
if(list[z].contains("488")){
title = list[z];
end = lengthOf(title)-4;
out_path = output_dir + substring(title,0,end) + "_processed.tif";
open(input_dir + title);
//add all the functions you want
run("Brightness/Contrast...");
setMinAndMax(1, 15);
run("Apply LUT");
saveAs("tif", "" + out_path + "");
close();
};
run("Close All");
}
}
setBatchMode(false);
I think it contains all the things you need. It opens all the images (in specific folder) that ends with tif and contains 488. I didn't completely understand what you want to do with each photo, so I just added your functions. But you probably won't have problems with adding more/different since you can get them with macro recorder.
And the code is written to open tif files. If you have tiff just be cerful that you change that and also change -4 to -5.

How to read Geo Coordinates From Image Property using Xamarin Forms?

I have an image with longitude and latitude coordinates, can any one tell me how do i get it? I have tried
if (CrossMedia.Current.IsPickPhotoSupported)
{
MediaFile photoPicked = await CrossMedia.Current.PickPhotoAsync();
if (photoPicked != null)
{
//await DisplayAlert("Photo Location", photoPicked.Path, "OK");
//path = photoPicked.Path;
using (Stream streamPic = photoPicked.GetStream())
{
var picInfo = ExifReader.ReadJpeg(streamPic);
ExifOrientation orientation = picInfo.Orientation;
//MainImage123.Source = ImageSource.FromStream(() => photoPicked.GetStream());
latitude = picInfo.GpsLatitude;
longitude = picInfo.GpsLongitude;
var filepath = photoPicked.AlbumPath;
var filepath1 = photoPicked.Path;
}
}
}
It works when I picked photo and trying to get its coordinates, but I have to take multiple photos from image gallery and find its coordinates.
does any one know how to read image geo coordinates? please help me.
You can use the ExifLib.PCL Nuget Package to read an image metada, by viewing your "code sample", i think you are using the Plugin.Media to take images/get images from the galery, be sure to use SaveMetaData = true when taking an photo from your app.
Once you have set the SaveMetaData to true, use the ExifLib to obtain the MetaData like this:
MediaFile photo;
using (Stream streamPic = photo.GetStream())
{
var picInfo = ExifReader.ReadJpeg(streamPic);
double lat = picInfo.GpsLatitude;
double lon = picInfo.GpsLongitude;
}
Also, as a plus, you have even more info on the photo (date taken, author, size, etc.).
UPDATE:
After Reading it again, it seems that the problem is that you are not able to pick multiple images from the galery, and NOT being able to get the lat and lon from the photos. At the moment, Plugin.Media doesn't support multi-picking.
Your question was unclear however - I think you are trying to make it work with multiple images together. How you can be able to pick multiple images together?
The plugin "CrossMedia" doesn't support picking up multiple images.
Your solution requires a lot of work to be done to be able to Pickup multiple images at once. So Follow this nice step-by-step tutorial here:
https://xamgirl.com/select-multiple-images-from-gallery-in-xamarin-forms/
With above you will be able to get all the images you need at once.
After you get List, all you have to do is to loop through those images and call your existing code.

load a thumbnail on QListWidget with reduced resolution

I need to reduce the resolution of the images that I add and show in a QListWidgtet.
Now I use the next code but it does not show all the images because they are being loaded with full resolution
void ImagesWizard::on_pbAddImages_clicked()
{
QFileDialog dialog(this);
dialog.setDirectory(mInitPath);
dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::ExistingFiles);
dialog.setNameFilter(trUtf8("Images (*.jpg *.png *.tif *.tiff *.bmp);; JPG (*.jpg);; PNG (*.png);; TIF (*.tif *.tiff);; BMP (*.bmp);;"));
QStringList filesToLoad;
if (dialog.exec())
filesToLoad = dialog.selectedFiles();
if (filesToLoad.count()!=0) {
QListWidget *localPathList= new QListWidget();
localPathList->setViewMode(QListWidget::IconMode );
localPathList->setIconSize(QSize(100,100));
localPathList->setResizeMode(QListWidget::Adjust);
localPathList->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::MultiSelection);
for (int var = 0; var < filesToLoad.count(); ++var) {
if (!mImagesList->contains(filesToLoad[var])) {
QFileInfo fileInfo(filesToLoad[var]);
QString filename(fileInfo.fileName());
QListWidgetItem *listItem = new QListWidgetItem(QIcon(filesToLoad[var]),filename);
localPathList->addItem(listItem);
mImagesList->append(filesToLoad[var]);
}
}
pbNext->setFocus();
}
}
Is there any way to resize the resolution in of the QIcon to optimice the time consumed to load the images and to show all the images added?
Now if I load a lot of images the last QListWidgetItems only add the name.
Thanks for your help
Use QImage first to scale the image and construct the icon from the resulting pixmap.
QSize desiredSize;
Qimage orig(filesToLoad[var]);
Qimage scaled = orig.scaled(
desiredSize,
Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio,
Qt::SmoothTransformation);
QListWidgetItem *listItem = new QListWidgetItem(QIcon(Qpixmap::fromImage(scaled)),filename);
It is very common to store the presized image too on the disk, to avoid the two step conversion process.

Rendering smallest possible image size with MVC3 vs Webforms Library

I am in the process of moving a webforms app to MVC3. Ironically enough, everything is cool beans except one thing - images are served from a handler, specifically the Microsoft Generated Image Handler. It works really well - on average a 450kb photo gets output at roughly 20kb.
The actual photo on disk weighs in at 417kb, so i am getting a great reduction.
Moving over to MVC3 i would like to drop the handler and use a controller action. However i seem to be unable to achieve the same kind of file size reduction when rendering the image. I walked through the source and took an exact copy of their image transform code yet i am only achieving 230~kb, which is still a lot bigger than what the ms handler is outputting - 16kb.
You can see an example of both the controller and the handler here
I have walked through the handler source code and cannot see anything that is compressing the image further. If you examine both images you can see a difference - the handler rendered image is less clear, more grainy looking, but still what i would consider satisfactory for my needs.
Can anyone give me any pointers here? is output compression somehow being used? or am i overlooking something very obvious?
The code below is used in my home controller to render the image, and is an exact copy of the FitImage method in the Image Transform class that the handler uses ...
public ActionResult MvcImage()
{
var file = Server.MapPath("~/Content/test.jpg");
var img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(file);
var sizedImg = MsScale(img);
var newFile = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/test.jpg");
if (System.IO.File.Exists(newFile))
{
System.IO.File.Delete(newFile);
}
sizedImg.Save(newFile);
return File(newFile, "image/jpeg");
}
private Image MsScale(Image img)
{
var scaled_height = 267;
var scaled_width = 400;
int resizeWidth = 400;
int resizeHeight = 267;
if (img.Height == 0)
{
resizeWidth = img.Width;
resizeHeight = scaled_height;
}
else if (img.Width == 0)
{
resizeWidth = scaled_width;
resizeHeight = img.Height;
}
else
{
if (((float)img.Width / (float)img.Width < img.Height / (float)img.Height))
{
resizeWidth = img.Width;
resizeHeight = scaled_height;
}
else
{
resizeWidth = scaled_width;
resizeHeight = img.Height;
}
}
Bitmap newimage = new Bitmap(resizeWidth, resizeHeight);
Graphics gra = Graphics.FromImage(newimage);
SetupGraphics(gra);
gra.DrawImage(img, 0, 0, resizeWidth, resizeHeight);
return newimage;
}
private void SetupGraphics(Graphics graphics)
{
graphics.CompositingMode = CompositingMode.SourceCopy;
graphics.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighSpeed;
graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighSpeed;
}
If you don't set the quality on the encoder, it uses 100 by default. You'll never get a good size reduction by using 100 due to the way image formats like JPEG work. I've got a VB.net code example of how to set the quality parameter that you should be able to adapt.
80L here is the quality setting. 80 still gives you a fairly high quality image, but at DRASTIC size reduction over 100.
Dim graphic As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(newImage)
graphic.InterpolationMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic
graphic.SmoothingMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
graphic.PixelOffsetMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality
graphic.CompositingQuality = Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality
graphic.DrawImage(sourceImage, 0, 0, width, height)
' now encode and send the new image
' This is the important part
Dim info() As Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo = Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders()
Dim encoderParameters As New Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters(1)
encoderParameters.Param(0) = New Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameter(Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality, 80L)
ms = New System.IO.MemoryStream
newImage.Save(ms, info(1), encoderParameters)
When you save or otherwise write the image after setting the encoder parameters, it'll output it using the JPEG encoder (in this case) set to quality 80. That will get you the size savings you're looking for.
I believe it's defaulting to PNG format also, although Tridus' solution solves that also.
However, I highly suggest using this MVC-friendly library instead, as it avoids all the image resizing pitfalls and doesn't leak memory. It's very lightweight, free, and fully supported.
