What I'm trying to do is measure the thickness of the eyeglasses frames. I had the idea to measure the thickness of the frame's contours (may be a better way?). I have so far outlined the frame of the glasses, but there are gaps where the lines don't meet. I thought about using HoughLinesP, but I'm not sure if this is what I need.
So far I have conducted the following steps:
- Convert image to grayscale
- Create ROI around the eye/glasses area
- Blur the image
- Dilate the image (have done this to remove any thin framed glasses)
- Conduct Canny edge detection
- Found contours
These are the results:
This is my code so far:
//convert to grayscale
cv::Mat grayscaleImg;
cv::cvtColor( img, grayscaleImg, CV_BGR2GRAY );
//create ROI
cv::Mat eyeAreaROI(grayscaleImg, centreEyesRect);
cv::imshow("roi", eyeAreaROI);
//blur
cv::Mat blurredROI;
cv::blur(eyeAreaROI, blurredROI, Size(3,3));
cv::imshow("blurred", blurredROI);
//dilate thin lines
cv::Mat dilated_dst;
int dilate_elem = 0;
int dilate_size = 1;
int dilate_type = MORPH_RECT;
cv::Mat element = getStructuringElement(dilate_type,
cv::Size(2*dilate_size + 1, 2*dilate_size+1),
cv::Point(dilate_size, dilate_size));
cv::dilate(blurredROI, dilated_dst, element);
cv::imshow("dilate", dilated_dst);
//edge detection
int lowThreshold = 100;
int ratio = 3;
int kernel_size = 3;
cv::Canny(dilated_dst, dilated_dst, lowThreshold, lowThreshold*ratio, kernel_size);
//create matrix of the same type and size as ROI
Mat dst;
dst.create(eyeAreaROI.size(), dilated_dst.type());
dst = Scalar::all(0);
dilated_dst.copyTo(dst, dilated_dst);
cv::imshow("edges", dst);
//join the lines and fill in
vector<Vec4i> hierarchy;
vector<vector<Point>> contours;
cv::findContours(dilated_dst, contours, hierarchy, CV_RETR_TREE, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE);
cv::imshow("contours", dilated_dst);
I'm not entirely sure what the next steps would be, or as I said above, if I should use HoughLinesP and how to implement it. Any help is very much appreciated!
I think there are 2 main problems.
segment the glasses frame
find the thickness of the segmented frame
I'll now post a way to segment the glasses of your sample image. Maybe this method will work for different images too, but you'll probably have to adjust parameters, or you might be able to use the main ideas.
Main idea is: First, find the biggest contour in the image, which should be the glasses. Second, find the two biggest contours within the previous found biggest contour, which should be the glasses within the frame!
I use this image as input (which should be your blurred but not dilated image):
// this functions finds the biggest X contours. Probably there are faster ways, but it should work...
std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point>> findBiggestContours(std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point>> contours, int amount)
{
std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point>> sortedContours;
if(amount <= 0) amount = contours.size();
if(amount > contours.size()) amount = contours.size();
for(int chosen = 0; chosen < amount; )
{
double biggestContourArea = 0;
int biggestContourID = -1;
for(unsigned int i=0; i<contours.size() && contours.size(); ++i)
{
double tmpArea = cv::contourArea(contours[i]);
if(tmpArea > biggestContourArea)
{
biggestContourArea = tmpArea;
biggestContourID = i;
}
}
if(biggestContourID >= 0)
{
//std::cout << "found area: " << biggestContourArea << std::endl;
// found biggest contour
// add contour to sorted contours vector:
sortedContours.push_back(contours[biggestContourID]);
chosen++;
// remove biggest contour from original vector:
contours[biggestContourID] = contours.back();
contours.pop_back();
}
else
{
// should never happen except for broken contours with size 0?!?
return sortedContours;
}
}
return sortedContours;
}
int main()
{
cv::Mat input = cv::imread("../Data/glass2.png", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);
cv::Mat inputColors = cv::imread("../Data/glass2.png"); // used for displaying later
cv::imshow("input", input);
//edge detection
int lowThreshold = 100;
int ratio = 3;
int kernel_size = 3;
cv::Mat canny;
cv::Canny(input, canny, lowThreshold, lowThreshold*ratio, kernel_size);
cv::imshow("canny", canny);
// close gaps with "close operator"
cv::Mat mask = canny.clone();
cv::dilate(mask,mask,cv::Mat());
cv::dilate(mask,mask,cv::Mat());
cv::dilate(mask,mask,cv::Mat());
cv::erode(mask,mask,cv::Mat());
cv::erode(mask,mask,cv::Mat());
cv::erode(mask,mask,cv::Mat());
cv::imshow("closed mask",mask);
// extract outermost contour
std::vector<cv::Vec4i> hierarchy;

// find biggest contour which should be the outer contour of the frame
std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point>> biggestContour;
biggestContour = findBiggestContours(contours,1); // find the one biggest contour
if(biggestContour.size() < 1)
{
std::cout << "Error: no outer frame of glasses found" << std::endl;
return 1;
}
// draw contour on an empty image
cv::Mat outerFrame = cv::Mat::zeros(mask.rows, mask.cols, CV_8UC1);
cv::drawContours(outerFrame,biggestContour,0,cv::Scalar(255),-1);
cv::imshow("outer frame border", outerFrame);
// now find the glasses which should be the outer contours within the frame. therefore erode the outer border ;)
cv::Mat glassesMask = outerFrame.clone();
cv::erode(glassesMask,glassesMask, cv::Mat());
cv::imshow("eroded outer",glassesMask);
// after erosion if we dilate, it's an Open-Operator which can be used to clean the image.
cv::Mat cleanedOuter;
cv::dilate(glassesMask,cleanedOuter, cv::Mat());
cv::imshow("cleaned outer",cleanedOuter);
// use the outer frame mask as a mask for copying canny edges. The result should be the inner edges inside the frame only
cv::Mat glassesInner;
canny.copyTo(glassesInner, glassesMask);
// there is small gap in the contour which unfortunately cant be closed with a closing operator...
cv::dilate(glassesInner, glassesInner, cv::Mat());
//cv::erode(glassesInner, glassesInner, cv::Mat());
// this part was cheated... in fact we would like to erode directly after dilation to not modify the thickness but just close small gaps.
cv::imshow("innerCanny", glassesInner);
// extract contours from within the frame
std::vector<cv::Vec4i> hierarchyInner;
std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point>> contoursInner;
//cv::findContours(glassesInner, contoursInner, hierarchyInner, CV_RETR_TREE, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE);
cv::findContours(glassesInner, contoursInner, hierarchyInner, CV_RETR_EXTERNAL, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE);
// find the two biggest contours which should be the glasses within the frame
std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point>> biggestInnerContours;
biggestInnerContours = findBiggestContours(contoursInner,2); // find the one biggest contour
if(biggestInnerContours.size() < 1)
{
std::cout << "Error: no inner frames of glasses found" << std::endl;
return 1;
}
// draw the 2 biggest contours which should be the inner glasses
cv::Mat innerGlasses = cv::Mat::zeros(mask.rows, mask.cols, CV_8UC1);
for(unsigned int i=0; i<biggestInnerContours.size(); ++i)
cv::drawContours(innerGlasses,biggestInnerContours,i,cv::Scalar(255),-1);
cv::imshow("inner frame border", innerGlasses);
// since we dilated earlier and didnt erode quite afterwards, we have to erode here... this is a bit of cheating :-(
cv::erode(innerGlasses,innerGlasses,cv::Mat() );
// remove the inner glasses from the frame mask
cv::Mat fullGlassesMask = cleanedOuter - innerGlasses;
cv::imshow("complete glasses mask", fullGlassesMask);
// color code the result to get an impression of segmentation quality
cv::Mat outputColors1 = inputColors.clone();
cv::Mat outputColors2 = inputColors.clone();
for(int y=0; y<fullGlassesMask.rows; ++y)
for(int x=0; x<fullGlassesMask.cols; ++x)
{
if(!fullGlassesMask.at<unsigned char>(y,x))
outputColors1.at<cv::Vec3b>(y,x)[1] = 255;
else
outputColors2.at<cv::Vec3b>(y,x)[1] = 255;
}
cv::imshow("output", outputColors1);
/*
cv::imwrite("../Data/Output/face_colored.png", outputColors1);
cv::imwrite("../Data/Output/glasses_colored.png", outputColors2);
cv::imwrite("../Data/Output/glasses_fullMask.png", fullGlassesMask);
*/
cv::waitKey(-1);
return 0;
}
I get this result for segmentation:
the overlay in original image will give you an impression of quality:
and inverse:
There are some tricky parts in the code and it's not tidied up yet. I hope it's understandable.
The next step would be to compute the thickness of the the segmented frame. My suggestion is to compute the distance transform of the inversed mask. From this you will want to compute a ridge detection or skeletonize the mask to find the ridge. After that use the median value of ridge distances.
Anyways I hope this posting can help you a little, although it's not a solution yet.
Depending on lighting, frame color etc this may or may not work but how about simple color detection to separate the frame ? Frame color will usually be a lot darker than human skin. You'll end up with a binary image (just black and white) and by calculating the number (area) of black pixels you get the area of the frame.
Another possible way is to get better edge detection, by adjusting/dilating/eroding/both until you get better contours. You will also need to differentiate the contour from the lenses and then apply cvContourArea.
