draw a circle over image opencv
Just an additional information:
The parameter "center" of OpenCV's drawing function cv2.circle() takes a tuple of two integers. The first is the width location and the second is the height location. This ordering is different from the usual array indexing. The following example demonstrates the issue.
import numpy as np
import cv2
height, width = 150, 200
img = np.zeros((height, width, 3), np.uint8)
img[:, :] = [255, 255, 255]
# Pixel position to draw at
row, col = 20, 100
# Draw a square with position 20, 100 as the top left corner
for i in range(row, 30):
for j in range(col, 110):
img[i, j] = [0, 0, 255]
# Will the following draw a circle at (20, 100)?
# Ans: No. It will draw at row index 100 and column index 20.
cv2.circle(img,(col, row), 5, (0,255,0), -1)
cv2.imwrite("square_circle_opencv.jpg", img)
cv2.circle(img, center, radius, color, thickness=1, lineType=8, shift=0) → None
Draws a circle.
Parameters:
img (CvArr) – Image where the circle is drawn
center (CvPoint) – Center of the circle
radius (int) – Radius of the circle
color (CvScalar) – Circle color
thickness (int) – Thickness of the circle outline if positive, otherwise this indicates that a filled circle is to be drawn
lineType (int) – Type of the circle boundary, see Line description
shift (int) – Number of fractional bits in the center coordinates and radius value
Use "thickness" parameter for only the border.
To dynamically draw a circle with OpenCV,
import numpy as np
import cv2
import math
drawing = False # true if mouse is pressed
ix,iy = -1,-1
# Create a function based on a CV2 Event (Left button click)
def draw_circle(event,x,y,flags,param):
global ix,iy,drawing
if event == cv2.EVENT_LBUTTONDOWN:
drawing = True
# we take note of where that mouse was located
ix,iy = x,y
elif event == cv2.EVENT_MOUSEMOVE:
drawing == True
elif event == cv2.EVENT_LBUTTONUP:
radius = int(math.sqrt( ((ix-x)**2)+((iy-y)**2)))
cv2.circle(img,(ix,iy),radius,(0,0,255), thickness=1)
drawing = False
# Create a black image
img = np.zeros((512,512,3), np.uint8)
# This names the window so we can reference it
cv2.namedWindow('image')
# Connects the mouse button to our callback function
cv2.setMouseCallback('image',draw_circle)
while(1):
cv2.imshow('image',img)

k = cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF
if k == 27:
break
# Once script is done, its usually good practice to call this line
# It closes all windows (just in case you have multiple windows called)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
try
cv2.circle(img, center, radius, color[, thickness[, lineType[, shift]]])
