OpenCV - Image Filters

Hello Guys,

In this tutorial, I will discuss the color map in OpenCV. Color Map is used to show different color temperatures. And this can also be used to generate some cool image filters. 

OpenCV comes with thirteen built-in color maps. So in this tutorial, I will show you how to use color maps. 

Let’s get started

List of Color Maps

COLORMAP_AUTUMN

COLORMAP_BONE

COLORMAP_JET

COLORMAP_WINTER

COLORMAP_RAINBOW

COLORMAP_OCEAN

COLORMAP_SUMMER

COLORMAP_SPRING

COLORMAP_COOL

COLORMAP_HSV

COLORMAP_PINK

COLORMAP_HOT

COLORMAP_PARULA

To apply color map first we need to convert an image to grayscale. So I will use 

img = cv.imread("nature.jpg",cv.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)

If you are not aware of this function then please check my previous tutorial http://techievaibhav.in/2019/01/10/reading-an-image-using-opencv/

To apply color maps, OpenCV comes with a function called applyColorMap(). This function takes two parameters.

  1. Gray Scale image
  2. Color Map

Program

#import cv2 moduleimport cv2 as cvdef showImage(effect,image):    cv.imshow(effect,image)    cv.waitKey(0)    cv.destroyAllWindows()    img_gray = cv.imread("nature.jpg",cv.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_AUTUMN)showImage("autumn",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_BONE)showImage("Bone",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_JET)showImage("jet",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_WINTER)showImage("Winter",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_RAINBOW)showImage("Rainbow",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_OCEAN)showImage("Ocean",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_SUMMER)showImage("Summer",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_SPRING)showImage("Spring",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_COOL)showImage("Cool",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_HSV)showImage("HSV",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_PINK)showImage("Pink",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_HOT)showImage("Hot",img)img = cv.applyColorMap(img_gray,cv.COLORMAP_PARULA)showImage("Parula",img)

Choosing the Best Motherboard

We will look at the various factors you should take into account when choosing your gaming motherboard, to ensure that you choose the best motherboard for your needs.If you think of the processor as the brain of a computer, then the motherboard could be described as the central nervous system, responsible for relaying information between all the internal components. In other words, it’s the hub of the computer, where all other components connect to. Since the motherboard is so crucial to your system, buying the best motherboard you can afford is a good investment. Select Your CPU First Before choosing your motherboard, you should have already chosen your CPU. If you haven’t already doneA motherboard will generally only support one type of processor, such as a Pentium 4 or Athlon 64. Different CPUs have connectors that vary physically from one another. So you can’t accidentally plug in the wrong processor into the wrong motherboard. Also, take note that many motherboards

Choosing the Best CPU for Your Gaming Computer

Picking the latest, fastest or most expensive processor on the market won’t always result in the right CPU for your particular system. Some processors are designed to work with certain motherboards, so the CPU you choose will limit the type of motherboard you can get. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is one of the most important components in any computer system. The CPU could be described as the brains of a computer. It contains the logic circuitry that performs the instructions of the software you run. The performance of your games and other applications will be directly related to this tiny little microprocessor. The Major Players: Intel and AMD Two companies dominate the CPU market, Intel and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). Both companies make a range of different processor models.  For example, Intel have the Core i7 and Core i5 processor models, while AMD have the Athlon and Phenom series.  The Best CPU for Gaming If you’re a basic computer user and you don’t
