An image with reversed brightness is referred a negative image, in which the light parts of the image appear dark and the darker parts appear lighter. The negative transformation of a colored image (RGB image) will be reversed, with red areas appearing cyan, greens appearing magenta, and blues appearing yellow. In Medical Imaging, Remote Sensing, and some other applications negative transformation is widely used. It also helps to find the details from the darker regions of the image. The negative transformation function is − As we know that an 8-bit image has a max intensity value is 255, therefore ... Read More

OpenCV is an Open Source Computer Vision Library in python. It provides numerous functions to perform various Image and video processing operations. The library uses the Numpy module to represent all the video frames and images as a ndarray type. It needs the numpy library, we need to make sure that the numpy module is also installed in our python interpreter. In this article, we will see different ways to get the duration of a video using the python OpenCV module. The OpenCV provides a VideoCapture.get() method to get the specified property of a video by passing one of the ... Read More

The centroid is also called the geometric center; it is defined as the center point of the object. Whereas the centroid of a triangle is defined as the point of intersection of all three medians of a triangle. Calculating the Centroid of a triangle: Let’s consider an ABC triangle, the three vertices of the triangle are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), and C(x3, y3). Then the centroid of a triangle can be calculated by taking the average of the x and y coordinates of all three vertices. centroid of a triangle = ((x1+x2+x3)/3 , (y1+y2+y3)/3 ) In ... Read More

In digital images, Transparency is the functionality that supports transparent areas in an image or image layer. For image processing/image editing, background removing is allowing us to highlight the subject of the photo and create a transparent background to place the subject into various new designs and destinations. Certain image formats do not support transparency, for example, TIFF, PNG, and WebP graphics formats support transparency, whereas JPEGs have none. In this article, we will see how to remove the black background from an image to make it transparent using OpenCV Python. Like RGB channels, the alpha channel is used to ... Read More
