OpenCV - Image Filters

Hello Guys,

In this tutorial, I will discuss the color map in OpenCV. Color Map is used to show different color temperatures. And this can also be used to generate some cool image filters. 

OpenCV comes with thirteen built-in color maps. So in this tutorial, I will show you how to use color maps. 

Let’s get started

List of Color Maps

COLORMAP_AUTUMN

COLORMAP_BONE

COLORMAP_JET

COLORMAP_WINTER

COLORMAP_RAINBOW

COLORMAP_OCEAN

COLORMAP_SUMMER

COLORMAP_SPRING

COLORMAP_COOL

COLORMAP_HSV

COLORMAP_PINK

COLORMAP_HOT

COLORMAP_PARULA

To apply color map first we need to convert an image to grayscale. So I will use 

img = cv.imread("nature.jpg",cv.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)

If you are not aware of this function then please check my previous tutorial http://techievaibhav.in/2019/01/10/reading-an-image-using-opencv/

To apply color maps, OpenCV comes with a function called applyColorMap(). This function takes two parameters.

  1. Gray Scale image
  2. Color Map

Program

#import cv2 moduleimport cv2 as cvdef showImage(effect,image):    cv.imshow(effect,image)    cv.waitKey(0)    cv.destroyAllWindows()    img_gray = cv.imread("nature.jpg",cv.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_AUTUMN)showImage("autumn",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_BONE)showImage("Bone",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_JET)showImage("jet",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_WINTER)showImage("Winter",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_RAINBOW)showImage("Rainbow",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_OCEAN)showImage("Ocean",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_SUMMER)showImage("Summer",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_SPRING)showImage("Spring",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_COOL)showImage("Cool",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_HSV)showImage("HSV",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_PINK)showImage("Pink",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_HOT)showImage("Hot",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_PARULA)showImage("Parula",img)

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....

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 Positive ...

Basic BIOS password crack

This is a password hack but it clears the BIOS such that the next time you start the PC, the CMOS does not ask for any password. Now if you are able to bring the DOS prompt up, then you will be able to change the BIOS setting to the default. To clear the CMOS do the following: Get DOS prompt and type: DEBUG hit enter -o 70 2e hit enter -o 71 ff hit enter -q hit enter exit hit enter Restart the computer
