About The Project

Built With

• OpenCV 3.12
• Python 3.8

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Refer to the requirements.txt file.

Installation

Clone this repository to your computer.
Install the project using Python 3.8; then install the requirements in the requirements.txt file.
A sample demo of how the engine works so far can be found within the icondetection module.

Key Features

• Detection of areas with a high likelihood of being clickable icons.
• Detection of closest rectangle to point of interest (be it gaze, or mouse as in the examples)

Usage

You can use the functions as shown in demo.py as a default entry point.

In the below example, the main set of functions is called within a callback function, as this allows the threshold value to be controlled from a GUI in OpenCV.

def threshold_callback(val):
    """
    Takes a value of threshold for the canny edge detector and finds the
    bounding rectangles of appropriate edges within an image.
    """

    # accept an input image and convert it to grayscale, and blur it
    gray_scale_image = grayscale_blur(src)

    # determine the bounding rectangles from canny detection
    _, bound_rect = canny_detection(gray_scale_image, min_threshold=val)

    # group the rectangles from this step
    global grouped_rects
    grouped_rects = group_rects(bound_rect, 0, src.shape[1])

    # (for display purposes) use the provided rectangles to display in your program
    render_rectangles(grouped_rects, src.copy(), "Grouped Rectangles", desired_color=(36, 9, 14))
    render_rectangles(bound_rect, src.copy(), "Original Rectangles", desired_color=(96, 9, 104))
    candidate_rectangle_demo()

Roadmap

✔ denotes an available API, ❌ denotes a WIP API

• ✔ Detect regions of interest with moderate accuracy
• ✔ Detect candidate region based on proximity
• ❌ Detect icon-like objects on the screen
• ❌ Context provision into regions of interest
