ID photos

Background

ID photos are often required for school, work, and daily life. These photos usually have a white or other solid-color background. Going to a photo studio each time can be inconvenient. This topic describes how to quickly create an ID photo from a personal or travel photo using a mobile app.

Use the console (API debugging)

This section uses portrait background removal as an example.

Prerequisites: Activate IVPD and OSS

1. Upload an image to OSS

Go to the OSS console. Select a bucket in the China (Shanghai) region and upload the photo that you want to process. If you do not have a bucket in the China (Shanghai) region, create one and set it to public-read.

Example:

2. Debugging APIs in the console

Open the IVPD console.

Input:

{
  "url": "http://ivpd-demo.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/ivpd-demo/images/IMG_20190515_202100.jpg"
}

Click OK to generate the result.

Java SDK development

As in the console example, the following example uses portrait matting.

Prerequisites: Activate IVPD and OSS

1. Upload the image

Select a bucket in the China (Shanghai) region and upload the photo that you want to process.

2. Import the SDK

Import the Maven dependency:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.aliyun/aliyun-java-sdk-ivpd -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.aliyun</groupId>
    <artifactId>aliyun-java-sdk-ivpd</artifactId>
    <version>0.1.0</version>
</dependency>

3. Write the code

Java

DefaultProfile profile = DefaultProfile.getProfile(
"cn-shanghai",             // Default
"{accessKeyId}",         // Your Access Key ID
"{accessKeySecret}");    // Your Access Key Secret

SegmentImageRequest req = new SegmentImageRequest();
req.setBizUrl("http://ivpd-demo.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/ivpd-demo/images/IMG_20190515_202100.jpg");
SegmentImageResponse resp = getAcsResponse(req);
if ("0".equals(resp.getCode()) {
   String url = resp.getData().getUrl();// The URL of the image with the background removed.
   //TODO
}
