can't create a image file from BASE64

Well, i'm trying to send a picture from android to java, if i make it with compression it works really good, but i need to make it without compression beacuse i need a good or normal quality.
FixBitmap is my current Bitmap picture
//Android
FixBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, byteArrayOutputStream);
byteArray = byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();
ConvertImage = Base64.encodeToString(byteArray, Base64.DEFAULT);
Log.e(TAG,"LENGTH"+ConvertImage.length());
Length 43388
//Java
try{
String file=request.getParameter("image_data");
String filename=rt.getId()+"_"+rt.getName()+".png";
BufferedImage image = null;
byte[] imageByte;
BASE64Decoder decoder = new BASE64Decoder();
imageByte = decoder.decodeBuffer(file);
ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageByte);
image = ImageIO.read(bis);
bis.close();
File outputfile = new File(filename);
ImageIO.write(image, "png", outputfile);
Path destinationFile = Paths.get(getServletContext().getRealPath("/")+"uploads\\", filename);
Files.write(destinationFile,imageByte);
}catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println("Error :"+ex.getMessage());
}
This code actually works as i said, but the compression make it looks in a very bad quality, so i tried to make it without compression, just converting my bitmap to a byte array, just like this
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(FixBitmap.getRowBytes() *
FixBitmap.getHeight());
FixBitmap.copyPixelsToBuffer(buffer);
byteArray = buffer.array();
ConvertImage = Base64.encodeToString(byteArray, Base64.DEFAULT);
Log.e(TAG,"LENGTH"+ConvertImage.length());
Length 252107
The code on my java side it's the same but now it doesn't work, it just shows me this error :
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: image == null!
So I decided to print the length because maybe there is some restrictions about this...
so I hope you can help me with this (just send/get the picture without compression)

How to reduce size of a multipart file in java

I have Java Spring MVC application in which there is an option to upload an image and save to the server. i have the following method:
#RequestMapping(value = "/uploaddocimagecontentsubmit", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String createUpdateFileImageContentSubmit(#RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file, ModelMap model)
{
//methods to handle file upload
}
I am now trying to reduce the size of the image refering the following:
increasing-resolution-and-reducing-size-of-an-image-in-java and decrease-image-resolution-in-java
The problem I am facing is that in the above examples, we are dealing with java.io.File Objects which are saved to a specified location. I dont want to save the image. Is there any way that I can use something similar to compress my Multipart Image file and continue with the upload.

Why don't you resize it on the client before upload? That will save some bandwidth
BlueImp JQuery Upload can do this

It was my first time taking a deep dive into the ImageIO package. I came across the MemoryCacheImageOutputStream, which allows you to write an image output stream to an output stream, i.e. ByteArrayOutputStream. From there, The data can be retrieved using toByteArray() and toString(), after compression. I used toByteArray, as I am storing images to postgresql and it stores the images as a byte array. I know this is late, but I hope it helps someone.
private byte[] compressImage(MultipartFile mpFile) {
float quality = 0.3f;
String imageName = mpFile.getOriginalFilename();
String imageExtension = imageName.substring(imageName.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
// Returns an Iterator containing all currently registered ImageWriters that claim to be able to encode the named format.
// You don't have to register one yourself; some are provided.
ImageWriter imageWriter = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName(imageExtension).next();
ImageWriteParam imageWriteParam = imageWriter.getDefaultWriteParam();
imageWriteParam.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT); // Check the api value that suites your needs.
// A compression quality setting of 0.0 is most generically interpreted as "high compression is important,"
// while a setting of 1.0 is most generically interpreted as "high image quality is important."
imageWriteParam.setCompressionQuality(quality);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// MemoryCacheImageOutputStream: An implementation of ImageOutputStream that writes its output to a regular
// OutputStream, i.e. the ByteArrayOutputStream.
ImageOutputStream imageOutputStream = new MemoryCacheImageOutputStream(baos);
// Sets the destination to the given ImageOutputStream or other Object.
imageWriter.setOutput(imageOutputStream);
BufferedImage originalImage = null;
try (InputStream inputStream = mpFile.getInputStream()) {
originalImage = ImageIO.read(inputStream);
} catch (IOException e) {
String info = String.format("compressImage - bufferedImage (file %s)- IOException - message: %s ", imageName, e.getMessage());
logger.error(info);
return baos.toByteArray();
}
IIOImage image = new IIOImage(originalImage, null, null);
try {
imageWriter.write(null, image, imageWriteParam);
} catch (IOException e) {
String info = String.format("compressImage - imageWriter (file %s)- IOException - message: %s ", imageName, e.getMessage());
logger.error(info);
} finally {
imageWriter.dispose();
}
return baos.toByteArray();
}

How do you access an attachment stored as MIME Part?

It seems to me there are two ways to store an attachment in a NotesDocument.
Either as a RichTextField or as a "MIME Part".
If they are stored as RichText you can do stuff like:
document.getAttachment(fileName)
That does not seem to work for an attachment stored as a MIME Part. See screenshot
I have thousands of documents like this in the backend. This is NOT a UI issue where I need to use the file Download control of XPages.
Each document as only 1 attachment. An Image. A JPG file. I have 3 databases for different sizes. Original, Large, and Small. Originally I created everything from documents that had the attachment stored as RichText. But my code saved them as MIME Part. that's just what it did. Not really my intent.
What happened is I lost some of my "Small" pictures so I need to rebuild them from the Original pictures that are now stored as MIME Part. So my ultimate goal is to get it from the NotesDocument into a Java Buffered Image.
I think I have the code to do what I want but I just "simply" can't figure out how to get the attachment off the document and then into a Java Buffered Image.
Below is some rough code I'm working with. My goal is to pass in the document with the original picture. I already have the fileName because I stored that out in metaData. But I don't know how to get that from the document itself. And I'm passing in "Small" to create the Small image.
I think I just don't know how to work with attachments stored in this manner.
Any ideas/advice would be appreciated! Thanks!!!
public Document processImage(Document inputDoc, String fileName, String size) throws IOException {
// fileName is the name of the attachment on the document
// The goal is to return a NEW BLANK document with the image on it
// The Calling code can then deal with keys and meta data.
// size is "Original", "Large" or "Small"
System.out.println("Processing Image, Size = " + size);
//System.out.println("Filename = " + fileName);
boolean result = false;
Session session = Factory.getSession();
Database db = session.getCurrentDatabase();
session.setConvertMime(true);
BufferedImage img;
BufferedImage convertedImage = null; // the output image
EmbeddedObject image = null;
InputStream imageStream = null;
int currentSize = 0;
int newWidth = 0;
String currentName = "";
try {
// Get the Embedded Object
image = inputDoc.getAttachment(fileName);
System.out.println("Input Form : " + inputDoc.getItemValueString("form"));
if (null == image) {
System.out.println("ALERT - IMAGE IS NULL");
}
currentSize = image.getFileSize();
currentName = image.getName();
// Get a Stream of the Imahe
imageStream = image.getInputStream();
img = ImageIO.read(imageStream); // this is the buffered image we'll work with
imageStream.close();
Document newDoc = db.createDocument();
// Remember this is a BLANK document. The calling code needs to set the form
if ("original".equalsIgnoreCase(size)) {
this.attachImage(newDoc, img, fileName, "JPG");
return newDoc;
}
if ("Large".equalsIgnoreCase(size)) {
// Now we need to convert the LARGE image
// We're assuming FIXED HEIGHT of 600px
newWidth = this.getNewWidth(img.getHeight(), img.getWidth(), 600);
convertedImage = this.getScaledInstance(img, newWidth, 600, false);
this.attachImage(newDoc, img, fileName, "JPG");
return newDoc;
}
if ("Small".equalsIgnoreCase(size)) {
System.out.println("converting Small");
newWidth = this.getNewWidth(img.getHeight(), img.getWidth(), 240);
convertedImage = this.getScaledInstance(img, newWidth, 240, false);
this.attachImage(newDoc, img, fileName, "JPG");
System.out.println("End Converting Small");
return newDoc;
}
return newDoc;
} catch (Exception e) {
// HANDLE EXCEPTION HERE
// SAMLPLE WRITE TO LOG.NSF
System.out.println("****************");
System.out.println("EXCEPTION IN processImage()");
System.out.println("****************");
System.out.println("picName: " + fileName);
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
} finally {
if (null != imageStream) {
imageStream.close();
}
if (null != image) {
LibraryUtils.incinerate(image);
}
}
}

I believe it will be some variation of the following code snippet. You might have to change which mimeentity has the content so it might be in the parent or another child depending.
Stream stream = session.createStream();
doc.getMIMEEntity().getFirstChildEntity().getContentAsBytes(stream);
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(stream.read());
return ImageIO.read(bais);
EDIT:
session.setConvertMime(false);
Stream stream = session.createStream();
Item itm = doc.getFirstItem("ParentEntity");
MIMEEntity me = itm.getMIMEEntity();
MIMEEntity childEntity = me.getFirstChildEntity();
childEntity.getContentAsBytes(stream);
ByteArrayOutputStream bo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
stream.getContents(bo);
byte[] mybytearray = bo.toByteArray();
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(mybytearray);
return ImageIO.read(bais);

David have a look at DominoDocument,http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/lotus/Domino-Designer/JavaDocs/XPagesExtAPI/8.5.2/com/ibm/xsp/model/domino/wrapped/DominoDocument.html
There you can wrap every Notes document
In the DominoDocument, there such as DominoDocument.AttachmentValueHolder where you can access the attachments.
I have explained it at Engage. It very powerful

ImageIO.write() low quality image

I have created the following method, and it builds a base64 encoded string of an image. The issue that I am having is that when this runs, the image that it grabs is high quality but when it is saved into the byte array then encoded, the image is pixelated and fairly low quality, what can I do to get a 100% quality image?
public String getImageString(String img){
String image = "";
try{
BufferedImage bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(HelpPage.class.getResource(img));
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(bufferedImage, "JPG", out);
String base64bytes = Base64.encode(out.toByteArray());
image = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + base64bytes;
}catch(IOException ex){
Logger.getLogger(HomePage.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
return image;
}

You don't need to use ImageIO at all here. Just read the bytes from the resource and base64-encode them.
You're converting a JPEG to another JPEG, which is an inherently lossy process, although it shouldn't be as bad as 'low quality'. But you don't need to do it at all.

How to crop and rotate an image in pdf file in Java?

In Java, I have to crop and rotate an image in scanned pdf file and create another pdf file with the result image
For example, I have the image1 and want get the image2 centered in the page as result
How can I proceed?
Thanks!
The pdf is a scanned file.
It contains for example a student card.
I have to rotate the stutend card scanned on the right way and centered it in the A4 page.
I try to get the image like this :
PDDocument docIn = null;
File inputPdfFile = new File("C:\\test.pdf");
File output = new File("C:\\testOutput.png");
try {
// Read the pdf into a BufferedImage
docIn = PDDocument.load(inputPdfFile);
List<PDPage> pages = docIn.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
PDPage page = pages.get(0);
// get the image
BufferedImage image = page.convertToImage(BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB, 300);
ImageIO.write(image, "png", output);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Then, I use the javaxt librairies to trim the image
Image image = new Image(output);
image.trim();
image.saveAs("C:\\projetCrop\\trimImage.png");
Now, how to detect the rotation angle?
