Get file name of image before upload - JQuery

I have a form to upload image with: 

<div class="col-sm-4">
 <input id="file_input" type="file" style="visibility: hidden; width: 0; height: 0" name="image[photo_new]" accept="image/*">
</div>
<div class="col-lg-8">
  <div class="form-group row">
    <label class="col-sm-3 control-label" for="title">
      <label for="image_title">Title</label>
    </label>
    <div class="col-sm-9">
      <input id="title" class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Title" name="image[title]" maxlength="200">
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I want when users click to #input_file area to choose image, then the after choosing file, the file name will display immediately in #title field. For example name.png should be name. I want to use JQuery to do this function but don't know how, any advises? Thank in advance.

You can have name, size and type details of selected file using below code. have a look.

<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input id="file" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>
<script
src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$('#file').change(function(){
 var file = this.files[0];
 name = file.name;
 size = file.size;
 type = file.type;
 //your validation
 });
</script>

Use this sample code to show file name :

<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
<button  id="btn">Submit</button>
<div id="fname"></div>

 $(function(){
    $('#btn').on('click',function(){
    var name = $('#file').val().split('\\').pop();
    name=name.split('.')[0];
    $('#fname').html(name);
  });
})();

Here is Demo on jsfiddle

You can use this.value to get the file value in a change event handler and then extract the name like

$('#file_input').change(function() {
  //$('#title').val(this.value ? this.value.match(/([\w-_]+)(?=\.)/)[0] : '');
  $('#title').val(this.files && this.files.length ? this.files[0].name.split('.')[0] : '');

})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="file_input" type="file" />
<input id="title" />

You can attach an event after the user chooses an image like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#image').on('change', function(event) {
        // and you can get the name of the image like this:
        console.log(event.target.files[0].name);
    });
});

If the html is like this:

<input type="file" id="image">
