In OpenCV, we can put some text in the image by using puttext() function. This function is defined in header. To put text in an image, we first need to declare the matrix which will load the image.Instead of loading an image in our program, we have filled matrix ... Read More

To draw a rectangle, we need four points. Look at the following figure.In the figure, there are four points x1, x2, y1 and y2. These four points are forming the four coordinates. To draw a rectangle using OpenCV, we have to define these points and show the rectangle we need ... Read More

Color space is the model of representing colors. There are different ways of describing colors. For example, RGB, CYMK, HSV, Grayscale etc.Here, we used a new header named 'imgproc.hpp'. This 'imgproc.hpp' is the abbreviation of Image Processing. To convert color spaces, we need to use 'cvtColor()' function of OpenCV. This function ... Read More

There are three channels in an RGB image- red, green and blue. The color space where red, green and blue channels represent images is called RGB color space. In OpenCV, BGR sequence is used instead of RGB. This means the first channel is blue, the second channel is green, and ... Read More

In this topic, we will understand how to find out the number of channels of an image. After running the program, the number of the channel will be shown in the console window.To get the number of the channel, we have used a class of OpenCV named 'channels()'. When we ... Read More

An array is a convenient method to store and retrieve the collection of data. In OpenCV, we can use this concept to load multiple images in an image array and show them using the array's index number.The following program loads multiple images in a matrix array and shows the array's ... Read More

In this topic, we will determine how to load and show images using OpenCV in C++. There are the following functions required for loading and showing an image in OpenCV. Mat: Mat is not a function. It is a data structure, a type of variable. Like int, char, string variable types in ... Read More

There are three steps to install OpenCV, which are as follows −Downloading all required software and install them.Processing OpenCV for Visual Studio.Linking OpenCV with Visual Studio.Let us define these steps one by one.Step 1 - Downloading and Installing the required SoftwareWe will use OpenCV in Microsoft Visual Studio. So we ... Read More
