How to crop an image in OpenCV using Python
How can I crop images, like I've done before in PIL, using OpenCV.
Working example on PIL
im = Image.open('0.png').convert('L')
im = im.crop((1, 1, 98, 33))
im.save('_0.png')
But how I can do it on OpenCV?
This is what I tried:
im = cv.imread('0.png', cv.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE)
(thresh, im_bw) = cv.threshold(im, 128, 255, cv.THRESH_OTSU)
im = cv.getRectSubPix(im_bw, (98, 33), (1, 1))
cv.imshow('Img', im)
cv.waitKey(0)
But it doesn't work.
I think I incorrectly used getRectSubPix. If this is the case, please explain how I can correctly use this function.
Answer
It's very simple. Use numpy slicing.
import cv2
img = cv2.imread("lenna.png")
crop_img = img[y:y+h, x:x+w]
cv2.imshow("cropped", crop_img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
