OpenCV – Remove the background in your camera feed 🎦

Hi !

Yesterday I share 10 lines of code to adddress this very simple scenario:

Load and image and remove the background.

Today I’ll add a few extra lines, and I’ll remove the background from my camera feed. It’s fun to see how the Captain America shield was included in the cropped polygon 😁

And the sample code:

import cv2
import cvzone
from cvzone.SelfiSegmentationModule import SelfiSegmentation
segmentor = SelfiSegmentation()
# open camera
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
while True:
# read image
ret, img = cap.read()
#resize office to 640x480
img = cv2.resize(img, (320, 240))
green = (0, 255, 0)
imgNoBg = segmentor.removeBG(img, green, threshold=0.50)
# show both images
cv2.imshow('office',img)
cv2.imshow('office no bg',imgNoBg)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
# close camera
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Happy coding!

Greetings
