My Brain Cells

Easiest (and best) learning materials for anyone with a curiosity for machine learning and artificial intelligence, Deep learning, Programming, and other fun life hacks.

Object Detection using only OpenCV

import cv2
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
  
# Opening image
img = cv2.imread("image.jpg")
  
# OpenCV opens images as BRG 
# but we want it as RGB, We'll also need a grayscale version
img_gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
img_rgb = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
  
  
# Use minSize because for not 
# bothering with extra-small 
# dots that would look like STOP signs
stop_data = cv2.CascadeClassifier('stop_data.xml')
  
found = stop_data.detectMultiScale(img_gray, 
                                   minSize =(20, 20))
  
# Don't do anything if there's 
# no sign
amount_found = len(found)
  
if amount_found != 0:
      
    # There may be more than one
    # sign in the image
    for (x, y, width, height) in found:
          
        # We draw a green rectangle around
        # every recognized sign
        cv2.rectangle(img_rgb, (x, y), 
                      (x + height, y + width), 
                      (0, 255, 0), 5)
          
# Creates the environment of 
# the picture and shows it
plt.subplot(1, 1, 1)
plt.imshow(img_rgb)
plt.show()

Note: you have to download stop_data.xml or haarcascade_frondface_default.xml
