OpenCV Image Rotation in Python

We will learn how to rotate an image using python. This Technique is very helpful in data generation for computer vision tasks. Make sure you have OpenCV library installed in your python environment.

Take an input image as shown below. Import libraries 

Fig 1: Input image
 
import numpy as np
import cv2, os, glob
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
 
Here os and glob are used to find image path if required and matplot library is used for visualization.
Read the file in python using cv2.imread('File path') command. The size of image can be large and to create standard we need to resize image to fix size so that we control the window size. Use cv2.resize(image, shape). Now use cv2.getRotationMatrix2D function and then affine transform to correctly rotate image.

rot  = cv2.getRotationMatrix2D(center, angle, 1.0)
rotated_image = cv2.warpAffine(image, rot, image.shape[1::-1], flags=cv2.INTER_LINEAR)

Here Center is referred to center of rotation of image and angle is the degree by which we want to  rotate an image. Note that any random angle can be given to the function, it need not be a integer. Here I have attached a Gif of rotated images.

Background Subtraction OpenCv Python

Image
Background Subtraction Background Subtraction is a method in image processing in which we subtract the background to detect the object or more specifically changes in the environment. We will create a python code with simple mathematical operations to create background subtraction. The way background subtraction work is we directly subtract background image from input image and then we binarize the image and after some operations like gaussian blur and erosion we get the object. Take 2 images, one background image and one with the object. The idea here is we are working with stable non movable camera. This type of camera are generally used for security.  Read the images in python using cv2.imread command then resize the images to desired size(resizing is always very helpful).  background = cv2.imread( 'background.jpg' ) image = cv2.imread( 'testforground.jpg' ) shape = ( 200 ,  200 ) bg = cv2.resize(background, shape) Convert t...

Opencv python object detection Tutorial (part 1)

OpenCV Python  OpenCV Python hand Tracking Series(Part-1) There are many reasons to detect object using camera which allows system to interact with the environment. Detecting obstacles by self driving car(to avoid them of course:) Can be used in gripping object with robotic arm Servaliance Purpose or may be your professor asked you to do it :( we will use OpenCV python to detect human arm with basic image processing techniques. For this method we require OpenCV and numpy library. In this tutorial we will use color as feature and detect objects. For now we will detect a ball but shape does not matter as we are usingcolor as feature and not shape. There are multiple ways to perform the Task such as Color Feature Background Subtraction Shape Features Sift Features SURF Features Deep learning we will cover all the methods but for now we focus on color features. To start we take a good photo of object you want to Track like the image given below Now let's Start Coding, First import nump...
