This document provides an introduction to image basics using OpenCV. It discusses opening images and drawing on them with OpenCV, both in Jupyter notebooks and Python scripts. Later sections cover directly drawing on images with mouse callbacks by connecting images to event functions in OpenCV. The goals are to open image files, draw simple shapes, and directly interact with images through callbacks.

Image Basics with OpenCV
Computer Vision with Python
● Image Basics with OpenCV
○ In this section we will begin building an understanding of how to use the OpenCV library. ○ Specifically how to open images and draw on them. ○ Later on we will expand on this. Computer Vision with Python
● OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) is a library
of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision. ● Created by Intel in 1999, it is written in C++ (we will be using the Python bindings) Computer Vision with Python
● It contains many popular algorithms for computer
vision, including object detection and tracking algorithms built-in. ● We’ll start with the basics and slowly work our way up! Image Basics with OpenCV
● Section Goals: ○ Be able to open image files with OpenCV in both a notebook and a python script. ○ Draw simple geometries on images. ○ Directly interact with an image through callbacks. Opening Image Files Notebook Opening Image Files OpenCV Python Script Image Basics with OpenCV
● In this lecture we will use OpenCV to display images
in their own separate window outside of Jupyter. ● For more complex video and image analysis, we’ll need to display outside of Jupyter. Image Basics with OpenCV
● While we often will just use plt.imshow to display
images inside of a notebook, sometimes we want to use OpenCV on its own to display images in their own window. ● Often Jupyter (being browser based) interferes with closing the window. Image Basics with OpenCV
● Many times JupyterLab can display a new window
with no issues, but the kernel crashes when the OpenCV window is closed. ● To fix this potential issue, simply restart the kernel. Image Basics with OpenCV
● These issues appear more on MacOS and Linux than
Windows. ● If you get the kernel error often, simply run the code as a separate Python script. ● Let’s show how to open and display images directly with OpenCV both in the notebook and as a script! Image Basics with OpenCV
● Let’s now see how to open files using OpenCV and a
normal Python .py script. ● Make sure you understand how to run python scripts at your command line before beginning this part of the lecture! Drawing on Images Part Two Direct Drawing with Mouse - Part Three Image Basics with OpenCV
● We can use CallBacks to connect images to event
functions with OpenCV. ● This allows us to directly interact with images (and later on videos). Image Basics with OpenCV
● In this 3 part lecture we will cover
○ Connecting Callback Functions ○ Adding Functionality through Event Choices ○ Dragging the Mouse for Functionality Image Basics with OpenCV Assessment Image Basics Assessment Solutions
