#012 Blending and Pasting Images Using OpenCV

Highlights: Often, we come across projects or tasks where we need to merge or mix two images. However, due to various parametric restrictions such as sizing, the task seems difficult to execute. Also, it can be boring when it is done in Photoshop. However, this process can be quite interesting if it is fully automated. In this post, we will make the blending and pasting of images on top of each other, fun and interesting.…

#005 How to create a panorama image using OpenCV with Python

Highlights: Nowadays, we use a number of different photo editing applications. For example, in modern smartphone cameras, we have an automatic option to create high-resolution panorama images. The essence of this process is that several photos are seamlessly combined into one original image. However, have you ever wondered how does this photo editing method works? Well, you will find out soon just continue to read this post. We will show you how to create a…

#006 OpenCV projects – How to detect contours and match shapes in an image

Highlights: In this post, we will learn how to detect contours in images. First, we will remind ourselves how to detect lines and circles using the Hough transform. Then, we will move on by showing how to detect more complex shapes like contours. Moreover, we will learn how to analyze these shapes that will help us to better understand the content of the picture. Let’s begin with our post. Tutorial overview: What are contours in…

#007 OpenCV projects – Image segmentation with Watershed algorithm

Highlights: In this post, we are going to cover one of the most important techniques in image processing. We will discuss how to segment an image into different regions. This is an important step in many computer vision applications because it isolates the desired region from the image for further processing tasks. Initially, we will give an overview of the segmentation and start with one of the most common region-based segmentation methods – the Watershed…
