How to get image height and width using java

Question

Is there any other way besides using ImageIO read to get image height and width   Because I encounter an issue that locks up the thread   at com sun medialib codec jpeg Decoder njpeg decode Native Method        at com sun medialib codec jpeg Decoder decode Decoder java 87        at com sun media imageioimpl plugins jpeg CLibJPEGImageReader decode CLibJPEGImageReader java 73        - locked  lt 0xd96fb668 gt   a com sun media imageioimpl plugins jpeg CLibJPEGImageReader        at com sun media imageioimpl plugins clib CLibImageReader getImage CLibImageReader java 320       - locked  lt 0xd96fb668 gt   a com sun media imageioimpl plugins jpeg CLibJPEGImageReader        at com sun media imageioimpl plugins clib CLibImageReader read CLibImageReader java 384      - locked  lt 0xd96fb668 gt   a com sun media imageioimpl plugins jpeg CLibJPEGImageReader        at javax imageio ImageIO read ImageIO java 1400        at javax imageio ImageIO read ImageIO java 1322    This error only occurs on a Sun app server and therefore I suspect that it is a Sun bug

You can load jpeg binary data as a file and parse the jpeg headers yourself. The one you are looking for is the 0xFFC0 or Start of Frame header:

Start of frame marker (FFC0)

* the first two bytes, the length, after the marker indicate the number of bytes, including the two length bytes, that this header contains
* P -- one byte: sample precision in bits (usually 8, for baseline JPEG)
* Y -- two bytes
* X -- two bytes
* Nf -- one byte: the number of components in the image
      o 3 for color baseline JPEG images
      o 1 for grayscale baseline JPEG images

* Nf times:
      o Component ID -- one byte
      o H and V sampling factors -- one byte: H is first four bits and V is second four bits
      o Quantization table number-- one byte

The H and V sampling factors dictate the final size of the component they are associated with. For instance, the color space defaults to YCbCr and the H and V sampling factors for each component, Y, Cb, and Cr, default to 2, 1, and 1, respectively (2 for both H and V of the Y component, etc.) in the Jpeg-6a library by the Independent Jpeg Group. While this does mean that the Y component will be twice the size of the other two components--giving it a higher resolution, the lower resolution components are quartered in size during compression in order to achieve this difference. Thus, the Cb and Cr components must be quadrupled in size during decompression.

For more info about the headers check out wikipedia's jpeg entry or I got the above info here.

I used a method similar to the code below which I got from this post at the sun forums:

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.io.*;

public class JPEGDim {

public static Dimension getJPEGDimension(File f) throws IOException {
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);

    // check for SOI marker
    if (fis.read() != 255 || fis.read() != 216)
        throw new RuntimeException("SOI (Start Of Image) marker 0xff 0xd8 missing");

    Dimension d = null;

    while (fis.read() == 255) {
        int marker = fis.read();
        int len = fis.read() << 8 | fis.read();

        if (marker == 192) {
            fis.skip(1);

            int height = fis.read() << 8 | fis.read();
            int width = fis.read() << 8 | fis.read();

            d = new Dimension(width, height);
            break;
        }

        fis.skip(len - 2);
    }

    fis.close();

    return d;
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    System.out.println(getJPEGDimension(new File(args[0])));
}

}

To get size of emf file without EMF Image Reader you can use code   Dimension getImageDimForEmf final String path  throws IOException        ImageInputStream inputStream   new FileImageInputStream new File path         inputStream setByteOrder ByteOrder LITTLE ENDIAN           Skip magic number and file size     inputStream skipBytes 6 4        int left     inputStream readInt        int top      inputStream readInt        int right    inputStream readInt        int bottom   inputStream readInt            Skip other headers     inputStream skipBytes 30        int deviceSizeInPixelX   inputStream readInt        int deviceSizeInPixelY   inputStream readInt         int deviceSizeInMlmX   inputStream readInt        int deviceSizeInMlmY   inputStream readInt         int widthInPixel    int  Math round 0 5     right - left   1 0    deviceSizeInPixelX   deviceSizeInMlmX    100 0       int heightInPixel    int  Math round 0 5     bottom-top   1 0    deviceSizeInPixelY   deviceSizeInMlmY    100 0        inputStream close         return new Dimension widthInPixel  heightInPixel

Problem with ImageIO read is that it is really slow  All you need to do is to read image header to get the size  ImageIO getImageReader is perfect candidate   Here is the Groovy example  but the same thing applies to Java  def stream   ImageIO createImageInputStream newByteArrayInputStream inputStream   def formatReader   ImageIO getImageWritersByFormatName format  next    def reader   ImageIO getImageReader formatReader  reader setInput stream  true   println  width reader getWidth 0  - gt  height  reader getHeight 0     The performance was the same as using SimpleImageInfo java library   https   github com cbeust personal blob master src main java com beust SimpleImageInfo java

So unfortunately  after trying all the answers from above  I did not get them to work after tireless times of trying  So I decided to do the real hack myself and I go this to work for me  I trust it would work perfectly for you too    I am using this simple method to get the width of an image generated by the app and yet to be upload later for verification    Pls  take note   you would have to enable permissions in manifest for access storage    I made it static and put in my Global class so I can reference or access it from just one source and if there is any modification  it would all have to be done at just one place  Just maintaining a DRY concept in java   anyway       public static int getImageWidthOrHeight String imgFilePath                 Log d  img path     imgFilePath                   Decode image size             BitmapFactory Options o   new BitmapFactory Options                o inJustDecodeBounds   true              BitmapFactory decodeFile imgFilePath  o                int width tmp   o outWidth  height tmp   o outHeight               Log d  Image width      Integer toString width tmp                    you can decide to rather return height tmp to get the height               return width tmp

I have found another way to read an image size  more generic    You can use ImageIO class in cooperation with ImageReaders   Here is the sample code   private Dimension getImageDim final String path        Dimension result   null      String suffix   this getFileSuffix path       Iterator lt ImageReader gt  iter   ImageIO getImageReadersBySuffix suffix       if  iter hasNext              ImageReader reader   iter next            try               ImageInputStream stream   new FileImageInputStream new File path                reader setInput stream               int width   reader getWidth reader getMinIndex                 int height   reader getHeight reader getMinIndex                 result   new Dimension width  height             catch  IOException e                log e getMessage               finally               reader dispose                    else           log  No reader found for given format      suffix              return result      Note that getFileSuffix is method that returns extension of path without     so e g   png  jpg etc  Example implementation is   private String getFileSuffix final String path        String result   null      if  path    null            result               if  path lastIndexOf         -1                result   path substring path lastIndexOf                    if  result startsWith                         result   result substring 1                                     return result      This solution is very quick as only image size is read from the file and not the whole image  I tested it and there is no comparison to ImageIO read performance  I hope someone will find this useful

Having struggled with ImageIO a lot in the past years  I think Andrew Taylor s solution is by far the best compromise  fast  not using ImageIO read  and versatile   Thanks man    But I was a little frustrated to be compelled to use a local file  File String   especially in cases where you want to check image sizes coming from  say  a multipart form-data request where you usually retrieve InputPart InputStream s  So I quickly made a variant that accepts File  InputStream and RandomAccessFile  based on the ability of ImageIO createImageInputStream to do so   Of course  such a method with Object input  may only remain private and you shall create as many polymorphic methods as needed  calling this one  You can also accept Path with Path toFile   and URL with URL openStream   prior to passing to this method     private static Dimension getImageDimensions Object input  throws IOException        try  ImageInputStream stream   ImageIO createImageInputStream input        accepts File  InputStream  RandomAccessFile       if stream    null            IIORegistry iioRegistry   IIORegistry getDefaultInstance            Iterator lt ImageReaderSpi gt  iter   iioRegistry getServiceProviders ImageReaderSpi class  true           while  iter hasNext                ImageReaderSpi readerSpi   iter next              if  readerSpi canDecodeInput stream                 ImageReader reader   readerSpi createReaderInstance                try                 reader setInput stream                 int width   reader getWidth reader getMinIndex                   int height   reader getHeight reader getMinIndex                   return new Dimension width  height                 finally                 reader dispose                                                throw new IllegalArgumentException  Can t find decoder for this image            else           throw new IllegalArgumentException  Can t open stream for this image

I tried to test performance using some of the various approaches listed  It s hard to make a rigorous test as many factors affect the result  I prepared two folders  one with 330 jpg files and another one with 330 png files  The average file size was 4Mb in both cases  Then I called getDimension for each file  Each implementation of getDimension method and each image type was tested separately  separate run   Here is the execution times that I got  first number for jpg  second number for png     1 Apurv  - 101454ms  84611ms 2 joinJpegs  - 471ms  N A 3 Andrew Taylor  - 707ms  68ms 4 Karussell  ImageIcon  - 106655ms  100898ms 5 user350756  - 2649ms  68ms   It s obvious that some methods load the whole file in order to get dimensions while others get by just reading some header information from the image  I think these numbers may be useful when application performance is critical   Thank you everyone for the contribution to this thread - very helpful

To get a Buffered Image with ImageIO read is a very heavy method  as it s creating a complete uncompressed copy of the image in memory  For png s you may also use pngj and the code   if  png      PngReader pngr   new PngReader file       width   pngr imgInfo cols      height   pngr imgInfo rows      pngr close
