Live Webcam Drawing using OpenCV

Let us see how to draw the movement of objects captured by the webcam using OpenCV. Our program takes the video input from the webcam and tracks the objects we are moving. After identifying the objects, it will make contours precisely. After that, it will print all your drawing on the output screen.
 

python3




# importing the modules
import cv2
import numpy as np
   
# set Width and Height of output Screen
frameWidth = 640
frameHeight = 480
   
# capturing Video from Webcam
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
cap.set(3, frameWidth)
cap.set(4, frameHeight)
   
# set brightness, id is 10 and
# value can be changed accordingly
cap.set(10,150)
    
# object color values
myColors = [[5, 107, 0, 19, 255, 255],
            [133, 56, 0, 159, 156, 255],
            [57, 76, 0, 100, 255, 255],
            [90, 48, 0, 118, 255, 255]]
   
# color values which will be used to paint
# values needs to be in BGR
myColorValues = [[51, 153, 255],          
                 [255, 0, 255],
                 [0, 255, 0],           
                 [255, 0, 0]]

myPoints = []  
     
# function to pick color of object
def findColor(img, myColors, myColorValues):
  
    # converting the image to HSV format
    imgHSV = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)
    count = 0

    # running for loop to work with all colors
    for color in myColors:
        lower = np.array(color[0:3])
        upper = np.array(color[3:6])
        mask = cv2.inRange(imgHSV,lower,upper)
        x, y = getContours(mask)
  
        # making the circles
        cv2.circle(imgResult, (x,y), 15,
                   myColorValues[count], cv2.FILLED)
        if x != 0 and y != 0:
            newPoints.append([x,y,count])
        count += 1
    return newPoints
    
   
# contours function used to improve accuracy of paint
def getContours(img):
    _, contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(img, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,
                                              cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
    x, y, w, h = 0, 0, 0, 0
       
    # working with contours
    for cnt in contours:
        area = cv2.contourArea(cnt)
        if area > 500:
            peri = cv2.arcLength(cnt, True)
            approx = cv2.approxPolyDP(cnt, 0.02 * peri, True)
            x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(approx)
    return x + w // 2, y
    
   
# draws your action on virtual canvas
def drawOnCanvas(myPoints, myColorValues):
    for point in myPoints:
        cv2.circle(imgResult, (point[0], point[1]),
                   10, myColorValues[point[2]], cv2.FILLED)
    
# running infinite while loop so that
# program keep running until we close it
while True:
    success, img = cap.read()
    imgResult = img.copy()
  
    # finding the colors for the points
    newPoints = findColor(img, myColors, myColorValues)
    if len(newPoints)!= 0:
        for newP in newPoints:
            myPoints.append(newP)
    if len(myPoints)!= 0:
  
        # drawing the points
        drawOnCanvas(myPoints, myColorValues)
    
    # displaying output on Screen
    cv2.imshow("Result", imgResult)
       
    # condition to break programs execution
    # press q to stop the execution of program
    if cv2.waitKey(1) and 0xFF == ord('q'): 
        break
