OpenCV - Display Image

Hello Guys,

In this tutorial, I will discuss how to display an image using OpenCV. 

OpenCV comes with the function named imshow which is used to display images. 

imshow function takes two arguments
 
 1. Window name
 2. Image object

We can show show any number of windows . But the name of each window must be different.

# Import cv2 moduleimport cv2 as cv#reading an using imread function without passing any parameter#by default it loads image in color format (BGR format)colored_image= cv.imread("nature.jpg") # loads image in gray formatgray_image= cv.imread("nature.jpg",cv.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)#Code to display single imagecv.imshow("Colored Image",colored_image)#Passing zero means it will open till you press any key #to close the window. It takes time in milliseconds . So if 500 will be #passed then it will be opened for 500 ms and then it will be closed #automatically.cv.waitKey(0) # This is used to close all opened windowscv.destroyAllWindows() #code to display multiple windows. If you want to show multiple images #then you have to pass different window name for each windowcv.imshow("Colored Image",colored_image)cv.imshow("GrayScale Image",gray_image)cv.waitKey(0)cv.destroyAllWindows() # This is used to close all opened windows

Automation - Update Naukri Profile Using Selenium

Recently one of my friend came to me with a problem. He is looking out for new job but he feels quite boring to update  his profile on daily basis. As some people says updating profile in the morning gives you more calls as it keeps the newly updated profile on top (Although i don’t know whether naukri works this way or not 😀 ). As i was more interested to solve his problem.  After listening his problem i came to solution that instead of updating it manually lets make this job automatic. And it is quite interesting how we can automate our daily boring task with automation. Another day i came with the solution . And the solution was to make it automatic using selenium (Those who are not aware about selenium do check this link) In short, Selenium is a Testing automation Framework. And it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well....

Android - Show A Dialog From Service

In this article, I will be discussing how you can create a dialog from service. As we all know that service in android does not have any UI and it is intended for long-running background tasks. But sometimes it is required to show some information to the user when your app is running in the background. Today I will show you how you can implement this type of functionality in your application. Before starting the tutorial let me tell you about the special permission that we are going to use. Permission AndroidManifest.xml<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/> This permission allows the app to use the system level window. AndroidManifest.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.app.dialogfromservice"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/> <appl...
