Internet / How to manipulate Image in Python Programming Language
« on: April 13, 2019, 02:34:11 AM »
To manipulate Image in Python you need to have OpenCV. Using openCV for python you can read an image, display an image and change that. You will find the tutorials on how to install OpenCV in the below links:
https://medium.com/@shachindra/installing-opencv3-4-with-python3-on-windows10-5511e3323a0

After installing openCV. You have to run the following command to read and display an image using python:

Run command promt using windows+r
write cmd there and command promt will start
then type the followings:
python
import cv2
img = cv2.imread('image name with full path')
cv2.imshow('name', img)


That's all to display an image in a window named name :D

Latex is a powerful tool to write professional looking documents especially your research article. It is based on the WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean) idea, meaning you only have focused on the contents of your document and the computer will take care of the formatting.
