🧠 OpenCV 4.12.0 Projects – Python 3.12 | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

This repository contains my personal OpenCV experiments and learning projects using Python 3.12 and OpenCV 4.12.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

---

📌 About

I’m learning image and video processing with OpenCV. This repo includes basic examples such as:

• Image resizing (with different interpolation methods)
• Morphological operations (erosion, dilation, opening, closing)
• Color conversions (BGR, Grayscale, HSV)
• Real-time video processing with webcam
• Basic object detection techniques

---

⚙️ Environment

• 🐍 Python 3.12
• 📷 OpenCV 4.12.0 (opencv-python)
• 🧮 NumPy
• 🖼️ Matplotlib (optional for visualization)

---

🔧 Installation

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/NightBirdNY/opencv-learning.git cd opencv-learning

2. (Optional) Create a virtual environment

python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies

pip install opencv-python numpy matplotlib

---

▶️ Running an Example

python image_resize.py

Make sure to place test images (e.g. cat1.jpeg) in the "Photos/" folder.

---

🧪 Example Scripts

File	Description
image_resize.py	Resize an image using custom rescaleFrame()
morphology.py	Demonstrates erosion, dilation, opening, and closing
color_space.py	Converts images to grayscale and HSV color spaces
webcam_demo.py	Captures real-time video from webcam and processes frames
