OpenCV - Drawing a Circle with python

In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw a circle in OpenCV.

OpenCV comes with lots of built-in functions that make our life easier especially when we are working on image processing. 

And there is a function called circle in OpenCV which is used to draw a circle.

This function takes following parameters:

1. Image: Takes an image object
2. Center: Center point coordinates
3. Radius: Radius of the circle
4. Color: Takes color in BGR format
5. Thickness: By default set to 1 (optional)
6. Line Type: By default set to 8-connected.It can also be LINE_AA or 4-connected (Optional)
7. Shift: Shifts fractional bits in the point coordinates of center and radius (Optional)

Especially when we are creating closed shapes. Thickness plays an important role. Here if the negative thickness is passed in this function or any other function which creates a closed shape(rectangle, polygon, etc). Then it creates a filled shape (filled with color).

Negative Thickness

filled circle

Filled Circle

Positive Thickness

hollow circle

Outlined Circle

Anti Aliased Circle

Anti aliased Circle Border

Line Type Set to LINE_AA

Program

#import cv2 moduleimport cv2 as cvimg = cv.imread("nature.jpg")height,width= img.shape[0:2]#Hollow Circleimg = cv.circle(img,(width/2,height/2),100,(255,145,88),10)#Filled Circle#img = cv.circle(img,(width/2,height/2),100,(255,145,88),-1)#AntiAliased Curve#img = cv.circle(img,(width/2,height/2),250,(255,145,88),10,cv.LINE_AA)cv.imshow('Circle',img)cv.waitKey(0)cv.destroyAllWindows()

Thanks for reading 🙂 🙂

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....

3 facts about Microsoft Windows

1. Nobody can create a folder named “Con”. Try to create anywhere on your hard disk a folder called “Con” (without the quotes). Go to a location on your hard disk, right click, choose “New” and then select “Folder” from the menu that appears. Name the folder “Con” (without quotes) and hit Enter. You’ll see that the folder won’t be named “Con“. It will be “New folder” 2. A text file made with Notepad, with the following content : “Bush hid the facts” (without quotes) won’t display the actual text. Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad . Write in Notepad the following text : “Bush hid the facts” (without quotes) then Save the file and exit Notepad. Now go to the text file you created and open it. You’ll see that the text you just wrote and save won’t show. 3. Write in Word this : “=rand(200,99)” (without the quotes) and witness the magic. Open Microsoft Word and on the first line write : “=rand(200,99)” (without the quotes) and hit Enter
