Hello,
I'm totally new to OpenCV and NumPy. When I load an image using cv2.imread, I get a NumPy array with RGBs inside, so every pixel is described as [B G R]. I want to convert this array to boolean one, where every pixel is either black (0) or white (1).
Are there any built-in OpenCV functions for this task?
load the image as grayscale,single channel intensity image, not as a color one:
img = cv2.imread(filename, cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
binarize it (the opencv way). you can use cv2.threshold , cv2.compare, or similar functions, resulting in an np.uint8 array, where each "on" pixel is 255, and each "off" one is 0.
if you really need binary (True/False) values, you can use numpy operations, like: bin = img > 20 , just note, that those are unusable for further opencv processing (where [0..255] is expected)
