Object recognition and replacement in opencv

Hello everyone,

I wanted to recognize an object in an image and then replace it with another image.

Could you help me understanding the replacement part? I have the following code from OpenCV docs that detects and marks the area to be replaced with another image:

import numpy as np
import cv2
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

MIN_MATCH_COUNT = 10 
img1 = cv2.imread('pil.jpg',0) 
img2 = cv2.imread('pil_search.jpg',0)

orb = cv2.ORB_create()

kp1, des1 = orb.detectAndCompute(img1,None)
kp2, des2 = orb.detectAndCompute(img2,None)

FLANN_INDEX_LSH = 6
index_params= dict(algorithm = FLANN_INDEX_LSH,
               table_number = 6, 
               key_size = 12,     
               multi_probe_level = 1) 
search_params = dict(checks = 50)

flann = cv2.FlannBasedMatcher(index_params, search_params)

matches = flann.knnMatch(des1,des2,k=2)

good = []
for m,n in matches:
if m.distance < 0.75*n.distance:
    good.append(m)

if len(good)>MIN_MATCH_COUNT:
    src_pts = np.float32([ kp1[m.queryIdx].pt for m in good ]).reshape(-1,1,2)
    dst_pts = np.float32([ kp2[m.trainIdx].pt for m in good ]).reshape(-1,1,2)

    M, mask = cv2.findHomography(src_pts, dst_pts, cv2.RANSAC,5.0)
    matchesMask = mask.ravel().tolist()

    h,w = img1.shape
    pts = np.float32([ [0,0],[0,h-1],[w-1,h-1],[w-1,0] ]).reshape(-1,1,2)
    dst = cv2.perspectiveTransform(pts,M)

    img2 = cv2.polylines(img2,[np.int32(dst)],True,255,3, cv2.LINE_AA)
    cv2.imshow('Match', img2)

else:
    print("Not enough matches are found - %d/%d" % (len(good), MIN_MATCH_COUNT))
    matchesMask = None

#draw our inliers (if successfully found the object) or matching keypoints (if failed).

draw_params = dict(matchColor = (0,255,0), # draw matches in green color
                   singlePointColor = None,
                   matchesMask = matchesMask, # draw only inliers
                   flags = 2)

img3 = cv2.drawMatches(img1,kp1,img2,kp2,good,None,**draw_params)
