I recently started working with openCV and python and decided to analyze some sample code to get an idea of how things are done.
However, the sample code I found, ke
have you tried this?
import cv2
import sys
import numpy as np
cv2.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR = 1 # set flag to 1 to give colour image
#cv2.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR = 0 # set flag to 0 to give a grayscale one
img = cv2.imread("link_to_your_file/file.jpg", cv2.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR)
cv2.namedWindow('Display Window') ## create window for display
cv2.imshow('Display Window', img) ## Show image in the window
print ("size of image: "), img.shape ## print size of image
cv2.waitKey(0) ## Wait for keystroke
cv2.destroyAllWindows() ## Destroy all windows
