Get RGB value opencv python

Question

I am loading an image into python e.g.

image = cv2.imread(\"new_image.jpg\")

How can i acccess the RGB values of image?

Answer 1

You can use numpy Better convert the image into numpy array and transpose the matrix [R G B] will be [B G R] and vice versa

Answer 2

Get B G R color value of pixel in Python using opencv

import cv2
image = cv2.imread("sample.jpg")
color = int(image[300, 300])
# if image type is b g r, then b g r value will be displayed.
# if image is gray then color intensity will be displayed.
print color

output: [ 73 89 102]

Answer 3

You can do

image[y, x, c]

or equivalently image[y][x][c].

and it will return the value of the pixel in the x,y,c coordinates. Notice that indexing begins at 0. So, if you want to access the third BGR (note: not RGB) component, you must do image[y, x, 2] where y and x are the line and column desired.

Also, you can get the methods available in Python for a given object by typing dir(<variable>). For example, after loading image, run dir(image) and you will get some usefull commands:

'cumprod', 'cumsum', 'data', 'diagonal', 'dot', 'dtype', 'dump', 'dumps', 'fill',
'flags', 'flat', 'flatten', 'getfield', 'imag', 'item', 'itemset', 'itemsize', 
'max', 'mean', 'min', ...

Usage: image.mean()

Answer 4

It worked for me well :

import cv2 
import numpy as np  

cap = cv2.imread('/home/PATH/TO/IMAGE/IMG_0835.jpg')
#You're free to do a resize or not, just for the example
cap = cv2.resize(cap, (340,480))
for x in range (0,340,1):
    for y in range(0,480,1):
        color = cap[y,x]
        print color`

Answer 5

This code will print the red , green and blue value of pixel 300, 300:

img1 = cv2.imread('Image.png', cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED)
b,g,r = (img1[300, 300])
print (r)
print (g)
print (b)
