A shape detection module for Python

# PyShapes:A Shape detection module for Python

[](https://travis-ci.org/sudoRicheek/PyShapes)

PyShapes is a python package that allows to detect and extract the basic shapes(polygons and circles) present in an image. It also has some in-built attributes and functions to get basic information and perform basic operations on those shapes.

This module uses Python OpenCV as dependency

### Installation

Installation is very simple through pip

For pip

` pip install PyShapes `

### Usage

Importing the package (Note : *You must import from PyShape not PyShapes*)

` from PyShape import * `

Creating PyShape objects -

` shapes = PyShape("C:\\path\\to\\image") `

Useful functions in PyShape -

• Getting all the shapes detected in an image :

  ` shapes_dictionary = shapes.get_all_shapes() `

  Gets all the shapes in the image and returns a dictionary !

• Displaying the shapes detected by providing coloured boundaries to them in original image :

  ` shapes.show_shapes() `

  Creates the coloured boundaries on top of the original image and displays the shape names along with the indexes

• Getting the coordinates of the corners of a particular shape :

  ` numpy_array = shapes.get_corners("name of shape", index_of_shape) `

  Returns the coordinates of the corners of the shape in form of a numpy array

  Returns None if there is no shape with that name/index

• Getting the area of a particular shape :

  ` area_of_shape = shapes.get_area("name of shape", index_of_shape) `

  Returns the area of a particular shape in pixel<sup>2 units; return type : double

  Returns -1 if there is no shape with that name/index
