How to use recent implementation of Stroke Width Transform?
Hello, can anyone please help me learn how to use an OpenCV method/function that was recently implemented in version 4.4.0 called Stroke Width Transform? The problem is that I am not an expert and there isn't enough documentation yet for someone like me, and I can't really even figure out how to call it properly in my Python program.
This seems to be the function implementation of SWT:
https://docs.opencv.org/master/d8/de7...
https://docs.opencv.org/4.5.0/javadoc...
I would like to have the program to detect any characters in the image and then draw/display the characters similar to how it is shown in the Github pull request for the implementation here:
https://github.com/opencv/opencv_cont...
So far, in my program I can read in the image using imread and then call the function, which gives me the output below. (Which I have no idea how to interpret btw).
But when I try to include the last two parameters to draw the characters, I get the errors you see below.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>

Any help would be appreciated.
