Write a program to contour an image

import cv2

image = cv2.imread('images.jpg', cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)


ret, thresh = cv2.threshold(image, 127, 255,
cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV)

contours, _ = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,


cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
contour_image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_GRAY2BGR)
cv2.drawContours(contour_image, contours, -1, (0, 255, 0), 2)
cv2.imshow('Original Image', image)

cv2.imshow('Contoured Image', contour_image)


cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
import cv2
• Import the cv2 module.
image = cv2.imread('images.jpg', cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
'images.jpg':

• This is the file path of the image you want to read.


cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE:
• This is a flag used with cv2.imread() to specify how the image
should be read.
• cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE indicates that the image should be
read as a grayscale image.
• ret, thresh = cv2.threshold(image, 127, 255,
cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV)
Thresholding is a popular image processing technique used to
convert a grayscale image into a binary image, where the
pixels are either black or white.
• 4 arguments are
1. Source image: It should be grey scale image
2. Threshold Value: The threshold value that is used to divide
the pixels in the image into different classes.
3. maxval : The maximum value assigned to pixels that are
above the threshold.
4. type: The type of thresholding to be applied.
• contours, _ = cv2.findContours(thresh,
cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
• findContours() function is used to detect the
contours in the image.

• It has 3 arguments.

1. image: Binary input image

2. mode: Contour-retrieval mode


3. method: Contour-approximation method
• contours, _ = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,
cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
Return values of findContours()
1. contours : Holds the list of contours found in thresh image

2. _ : The second return value is typically ignored (hence


assigned to _), as it represents the hierarchy of contours
(parent-child relationship), which is not necessary when
only external contours are needed (cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL).
• contour_image = cv2.cvtColor(image,
cv2.COLOR_GRAY2BGR)
Above function converts a gray scale image to color
image.

cvtColor function in OpenCV is used to convert an


image from one color space to another.
• cv2.drawContours(contour_image, contours, -1, (0, 255, 0), 2)

• drawContours() function is used to overlay the contours on


the RGB image
1. image: This is the input RGB image on which you want to
draw the contour.

2. contours: Indicates the contours obtained from


the findContours() function.
3. contourIdx: Using this argument, you can specify the index
position from this list, indicating exactly which contour point
you want to draw. Providing a negative value will draw all the
contour points.
4. color: This indicates the color of the contour points
you want to draw.
5. thickness: This is the thickness of contour points.
cv2.imshow('Original Image', image)
cv2.imshow('Contoured Image', contour_image)
• cv2.imshow() method is used to display an image in a
window.
waitKey()

• waitKey() function of Python OpenCV allows users to


display a window for given milliseconds or until any
key is pressed.

• If 0 is passed in the argument it waits till any key is


pressed.

cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
• The function cv2.destroyAllWindows() is used in
OpenCV (cv2) to close all the OpenCV windows that
were created with cv2.imshow().
