Drawing fancy rectangle around face

Question

I am using the following code to detect face and draw rectangle on top of the face.

while True:
    # get video frame
    ret, img = cap.read()

    input_img =          


        

Answer 1

I did something naive. You can implement with further modifications using a function.

Steps:

1. I manually marked a rectangle around the text and extracted the 4 points.

2. Then I fixed a length for the line to be drawn from these 4 points.

Result:

Functions used:

• cv2.line()
• cv2.rectangle()
