cv2_tools

Library to help the drawing process with OpenCV. Thought to add labels to the images. Classification of images, etc.

Image generated with face_recognition and drawed with cv2-tools version 2.0.2

Installation

Pre-requisites

You will need to install:

• opencv >= 3.6.2
• numpy >= 1.13.3
• python-constraint >= 1.4.0

You can simply execute: pip install -r requirements.txt

Finally you can install the library with:

pip install cv2-tools

When you install cv2-tools, it will automatically download numpy but not opencv becouse in some cases you will need another version.

Test

import cv2_tools

print('Name: {}\nVersion:{}\nHelp:{}'.format(cv2_tools.name,cv2_tools.__version__,cv2_tools.help))
webcam_test()

Ussage and Important classes

ManagerCV2

from cv2_tools.Management import ManagerCV2

If you want to work with video or stream, this class will help you mantain your code cleaner while you get more features.

For example:

• Open a a stream (your webcam).
• Reproduce it on real time with max FPS equals to 24.
• Press esc to finish the program.
• At the end print average FPS.

from cv2_tools.Managment import ManagerCV2
import cv2

# keystroke=27 is the button `esc`
manager_cv2 = ManagerCV2(cv2.VideoCapture(0), is_stream=True, keystroke=27, wait_key=1, fps_limit=60)

  # This for will manage file descriptor for you
  for frame in manager_cv2:
      cv2.imshow('Example easy manager', frame)
  cv2.destroyAllWindows()
  print(manager_cv2.get_fps())

If you want to use another button and you don't know the ID, you can check easily using the following code:

from cv2_tools.Managment import ManagerCV2
import cv2

# keystroke=27 is the button `esc`
manager_cv2 = ManagerCV2(cv2.VideoCapture(0), is_stream=True, keystroke=27, wait_key=1, fps_limit=60)

  # This for will manage file descriptor for you
  for frame in manager_cv2:
      # Each time you press a button, you will get its id in your terminal
      last_keystroke = manager_cv2.get_last_keystroke()
      if last_keystroke != -1:
        print(last_keystroke)
      cv2.imshow('Easy button checker', frame)
  cv2.destroyAllWindows()

SelectorCV2

Firstly create a SelectorCV2 object. You can pass it optional parameters to configure the output.

from cv2_tools.Selection import SelectorCV2
selector = SelectorCV2(color=(200,90,0), filled=True)

Also you can configure it later using the method (all optional parameters):

selector.set_properties()

Now, each time you want to add a selected zone call the method:

"""
Coordinates:

(x1,y1)____(x2,y1)
   |          |
   |          |
(x1,y2)____(x2,y2)

Tags (optional parameter):
* It could be a normal string
* A string with '\n'
* A list of strings
* None / '' / [] / False
"""
selector.add_zone((x1,y1,x2,y2),tags=tag)

Finally, when you want to draw all the rectangles execute:

edited_frame = selector.draw(frame)

If you want to use the same object multiple times you can easily change the content inside it:

# This method could help change rectangles to
selector.set_range_valid_rectangles( origin, destination)

# This method could help if you know exactly the indexes that you want to keep
# Default = [], so if you just want to clean the buffer call this method without parameters
set_valid_rectangles(indexes)

If you want, you can see the example detect_faces.py, it also use an open source library called face_recognition.
