Hi !
Super quick post today, with a very simple scenario:
Load and image and remove the background.
To do this, I’ll use OpenCV and cvzone. Here we can see a screenshot of my office, and the removed background sample. As usual, the threshold is the important one to manage the quality.

And the sample code:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

import cv2 | |
import cvzone | |
from cvzone.SelfiSegmentationModule import SelfiSegmentation | |
segmentor = SelfiSegmentation() | |
# read image | |
imgOffice = cv2.imread('office.jpg') | |
#resize office to 640×480 | |
imgOffice = cv2.resize(imgOffice, (640, 480)) | |
green = (0, 255, 0) | |
imgNoBg = segmentor.removeBG(imgOffice, green, threshold=0.50) | |
# show both images | |
cv2.imshow('office',imgOffice) | |
cv2.imshow('office no bg',imgNoBg) | |
cv2.waitKey(0) | |
cv2.destroyAllWindows() |
In next samples, I’ll show to work with this and the camera, and even replace the bacground π
Happy coding!
