crop image in skimage?

Question

I\'m using skimage to crop a rectangle in a given image, now I have (x1,y1,x2,y2) as the rectangle coordinates, then I had loaded the image

 image = skimage.io.         


        

Answer 1

One could use skimage.util.crop() function too, as shown in the following code:

import numpy as np
from skimage.io import imread
from skimage.util import crop
import matplotlib.pylab as plt

A = imread('lena.jpg')

# crop_width{sequence, int}: Number of values to remove from the edges of each axis. 
# ((before_1, after_1), … (before_N, after_N)) specifies unique crop widths at the 
# start and end of each axis. ((before, after),) specifies a fixed start and end 
# crop for every axis. (n,) or n for integer n is a shortcut for before = after = n 
# for all axes.
B = crop(A, ((50, 100), (50, 50), (0,0)), copy=False)

print(A.shape, B.shape)
# (220, 220, 3) (70, 120, 3)

plt.figure(figsize=(20,10))
plt.subplot(121), plt.imshow(A), plt.axis('off') 
plt.subplot(122), plt.imshow(B), plt.axis('off') 
plt.show()

with the following output (with original and cropped image):
