camera image resizing - ios

Question

I have an app I'm working on that has a function that allows the user to either take a photo or pick an image from the photo library. The code works but the image always displays larger than the UIImageView box. The box is set to "scale aspect fit" in the storyboard but the camera image refuses to conform.
Here's the code:
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
if let chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage{
imageField.image = chosenImage
} else{
//error message goes here
}
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
How do I get chosenImage to conform to the box or to aspect fit?

Answer 1

Try this way please :
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
if let chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage{
imageField.image = chosenImage
imageField.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.scaleToFill
imageField.clipsToBounds = true
} else{
//error message goes here
}
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
why ScaleAspectFill and clipsToBounds = true have look this question Why scale to fill give bigger image than UIImageVIew size? (using swift)

The below code will resize the image captured by camera which is compatible to swift 4.0.
It checks for EXIF property of image using UIImageOrientaiton and accordind to the value of orientation, it transforms & scales the image so you will get the same return image with same orientation as your camera view orientation.
func scaleAndRotateImage(image: UIImage, MaxResolution iIntMaxResolution: Int) -> UIImage {
let kMaxResolution = iIntMaxResolution
let imgRef = image.cgImage!
let width: CGFloat = CGFloat(imgRef.width)
let height: CGFloat = CGFloat(imgRef.height)
var transform = CGAffineTransform.identity
var bounds = CGRect.init(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height)
if Int(width) > kMaxResolution || Int(height) > kMaxResolution {
let ratio: CGFloat = width / height
if ratio > 1 {
bounds.size.width = CGFloat(kMaxResolution)
bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width / ratio
}
else {
bounds.size.height = CGFloat(kMaxResolution)
bounds.size.width = bounds.size.height * ratio
}
}
let scaleRatio: CGFloat = bounds.size.width / width
let imageSize = CGSize.init(width: CGFloat(imgRef.width), height: CGFloat(imgRef.height))
var boundHeight: CGFloat
let orient = image.imageOrientation

switch orient {
case .up:
//EXIF = 1
transform = CGAffineTransform.identity
case .upMirrored:
//EXIF = 2
transform = CGAffineTransform.init(translationX: imageSize.width, y: 0.0)
transform = transform.scaledBy(x: -1.0, y: 1.0)
case .down:
//EXIF = 3
transform = CGAffineTransform.init(translationX: imageSize.width, y: imageSize.height)
transform = transform.rotated(by: CGFloat(Double.pi / 2))
case .downMirrored:
//EXIF = 4
transform = CGAffineTransform.init(translationX: 0.0, y: imageSize.height)
transform = transform.scaledBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
case .leftMirrored:
//EXIF = 5
boundHeight = bounds.size.height
bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width
bounds.size.width = boundHeight
transform = CGAffineTransform.init(translationX: imageSize.height, y: imageSize.width)
transform = transform.scaledBy(x: -1.0, y: 1.0)
transform = transform.rotated(by: CGFloat(Double.pi / 2) / 2.0)
break
default: print("Error in processing image")
}
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(bounds.size)
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
if orient == .right || orient == .left {
context?.scaleBy(x: -scaleRatio, y: scaleRatio)
context?.translateBy(x: -height, y: 0)
}
else {
context?.scaleBy(x: scaleRatio, y: -scaleRatio)
context?.translateBy(x: 0, y: -height)
}
context?.concatenate(transform)
context?.draw(imgRef, in: CGRect.init(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height))
let imageCopy = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return imageCopy!
