Lab 1: Introduction to OpenCV for Computer Vision


Objectives:
1. Install OpenCV: Set up the OpenCV library on your preferred operating system to start
working with computer vision tasks.
2. Load, Display, and Save Images: Learn how to load images from your filesystem,
display them in a window, and save them back to disk using OpenCV.

td
3. Convert Colour Spaces: Explore how to convert images between different color
spaces, such as BGR to grayscale or HSV.

tl
4. Perform Basic Image Transformations: Apply basic transformations to images,
including resizing, rotating, and flipping.

Pv
Prerequisites:

ng
● Basic Python Knowledge: Familiarity with Python programming.
● Environment Setup: A Python environment with the ability to install libraries.

Step-by-Step Lab Guide:
Le

Step 1: Install OpenCV


IE

1. Install OpenCV using pip:


○ OpenCV can be installed easily using pip.
AF

pip install opencv-python


N

2. Verify Installation:
○ You can verify that OpenCV is installed by importing it in a Python script or in an
AL

interactive session.

import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)

Step 2: Load, Display, and Save Images


1. Load an Image:
○ Use the cv2.imread() function to load an image from your filesystem.

import cv2

# Load an image from file


image = cv2.imread('path_to_image.jpg')

td
# Check if the image was loaded correctly
if image is None:

tl
print("Error loading image")
else:

Pv
print("Image loaded successfully")

2. Display the Image:

ng
○ Display the image in a window using cv2.imshow().

# Display the image


cv2.imshow('Loaded Image', image)
ni
ar
# Wait for a key press and close the window
Le

cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
IE

3. Save the Image:


○ Save the image to a new file using cv2.imwrite().
AF

# Save the image to a new file


cv2.imwrite('saved_image.jpg', image)
N
AL

Step 3: Convert Colour Spaces

1. Convert BGR to Grayscale:


○ Convert the loaded image from BGR to Grayscale using cv2.cvtColor().

# Convert the image to grayscale


gray_image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# Display the grayscale image
cv2.imshow('Grayscale Image', gray_image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

2. Convert BGR to HSV:


○ Convert the image from BGR to HSV color space.

td
# Convert the image to HSV

tl
hsv_image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)

Pv
# Display the HSV image
cv2.imshow('HSV Image', hsv_image)
cv2.waitKey(0)

ng
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

ni
Step 4: Perform Basic Image Transformations
ar
1. Resize an Image:
○ Resize the image using cv2.resize().
Le

# Resize the image to 50% of its original size


resized_image = cv2.resize(image, (0, 0), fx=0.5, fy=0.5)
IE

# Display the resized image


cv2.imshow('Resized Image', resized_image)
AF

cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
N

2. Rotate an Image:
AL

○ Rotate the image by a specified angle using cv2.getRotationMatrix2D()


and cv2.warpAffine().

# Rotate the image by 45 degrees


(h, w) = image.shape[:2]
center = (w // 2, h // 2)

# Define the rotation matrix


rotation_matrix = cv2.getRotationMatrix2D(center, 45, 1.0)

# Perform the rotation


rotated_image = cv2.warpAffine(image, rotation_matrix, (w, h))

# Display the rotated image


cv2.imshow('Rotated Image', rotated_image)
cv2.waitKey(0)

td
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

tl
3. Flip an Image:

Pv
○ Flip the image horizontally, vertically, or both using cv2.flip().

# Flip the image horizontally

ng
flipped_image = cv2.flip(image, 1)

# Display the flipped image


ni
cv2.imshow('Flipped Image', flipped_image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
ar
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
Le

Conclusion:
IE

By the end of this lab, you should be able to:

● Install and configure OpenCV in your Python environment.


AF

● Load, display, and save images using OpenCV functions.


● Convert images between different color spaces.
● Apply basic image transformations like resizing, rotating, and flipping.
N

This lab provides a foundational understanding of working with images using OpenCV, an
essential skill in computer vision tasks.
