OpenCV - findContours on generated image doesn't work
2
I have an image of a graph. I perform some preprocessing functions on the image in order to extract the graph line (which works). I then, however, try to find the contour of the graph line that is found and saved as a separate image. When I do this, however, I do not get the desired results.
Graph line extracted
Contour found of the above image
import cv2
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
img = cv2.imread("/Users/2020shatgiskessell/Desktop/graph_extracting/Test_Graphs/Graph2.jpg")
h,w = img.shape[:2]
mask = np.zeros((h,w), np.uint8)
mask2 = mask = np.zeros((h,w), np.uint8)
def find_contours(image):
# Transform to gray colorspace and threshold the image
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
_, thresh = cv2.threshold(gray,0,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV+cv2.THRESH_OTSU)
# erod then dialate image (for denoising)
kernel = np.ones((2,2),np.uint8)
opening = cv2.morphologyEx(thresh, cv2.MORPH_OPEN, kernel)
#Find contours in order of hiarchy
#CHAIN_APPROX_NONE gives all the points on the contour
_, contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(opening,cv2.RETR_TREE,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
return contours
#---------------------------------------------------------------
#CLEAN UP IMAGE AND JUST EXTRACT LINE
#get the biggest contour
cnt = max(find_contours(img), key=cv2.contourArea)
cv2.drawContours(mask, [cnt], 0, 255, -1)
# Perform a bitwise operation
res = cv2.bitwise_and(img, img, mask=mask)
# Threshold the image again
gray = cv2.cvtColor(res,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
_, thresh = cv2.threshold(gray,0,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV+cv2.THRESH_OTSU)
# Find all non white pixels of image
non_zero = cv2.findNonZero(thresh)
# Transform all other pixels in non_white to white
for i in range(0, len(non_zero)):
first_x = non_zero[i][0][0]
first_y = non_zero[i][0][1]
first = res[first_y, first_x]
res[first_y, first_x] = 255
# Display the image
cv2.imwrite("extractedline.png", res)
#-------------------------------------------------------
#GET CONTOUR OF EXTRACTED LINE - NOT WORKING
i = 0
#Display contours
for contour in find_contours(res):
#approximate the contour shape
cv2.drawContours(mask2, [contour], 0, 255, -1)
res2 = cv2.bitwise_and(res,res,mask=mask2)
i = i+1
print (i)
cv2.imshow('after', mask2)
