OpenCV – Edge Detection
Edge Detection is an image processing technique to find boundaries of objects in the image.
In this tutorial, we shall learn to find edges slot88 of focused objects in an image using Canny Edge Detection Technique.
Syntax – cv2.Canny()
The syntax of OpenCV Canny Edge Detection function is
</>
Copy
edges = cv2.Canny('/path/to/img', minVal, maxVal, apertureSize, L2gradient)where
| Parameter | Description |
| /path/to/img (Mandatory) | File Path of the image |
| minVal (Mandatory) | Minimum intensity gradient |
| maxVal (Mandatory) | Maximum intensity gradient |
| apertureSize (Optional) | |
| L2gradient (Optional) (Default Value : false) | If true, Canny() uses a much more computationally expensive equation to detect edges, which provides more accuracy at the cost of resources. |
Example 1 – OpenCV Edge Detection
In this example, we python.png (an RGB image) as a slot GREY scale image. Then Canny() function is used to detect edges for the image.
edge-detection.py
</>
Copy
import cv2
img = cv2.imread('/home/img/python.png')
edges = cv2.Canny(img,100,200)
cv2.imshow("Edge Detected Image", edges)
cv2.waitKey(0) # waits until a key is pressed
cv2.destroyAllWindows() # destroys the window showing imageInput Image
Output Image
Conclusion
In this OpenCV Python Tutorial – Image Edge Detection, we slot gacor have learnt to find edges of objects in the specified image, using Canny Detection Algorithm.
