Circle-And-Line-Detection

Python script to detect lines and circles in an image using Hough Transform algorithms in a video capture.

This script makes use of OpenCV python. The code is compatible with both OpenCV 2 and 3 versions.

Dependencies

1. Install python 2.7 and add it to your system path.

2. On Windows systems, open up Advanced System Settings, edit your Path variable and append C:\Python27\Scripts at the end.

3. Install OpenCV python on your system.

4. For Windows: 1. Download a precompiled version of OpenCV. 2. Install by double clicking the executable file. 3. Now, copy the cv2.pyd file at opencv\build\python\2.7\cv2.pyd to C:\python27\Scripts\site-packages.

5. For MacOS: 1. Install homebrew. 2. Install homebrew branch of python using brew install python. 3. Add this to your ~/.bash_profile. export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH to specify the target packages for homebrew. 4. Refresh your bash profile using source ~/.bash_profile. 5. Install numpy with pip install numpy 6. Install opencv with brew install opencv3

6. For Ubuntu, install with sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-opencv. This should install a stable version of OpenCV-Python 2.4.9.

7. Test the installation by opening a terminal. Type in python.

8. In the prompt type, import cv2 and then cv2.__version__.

Run

1. Run python LineAndCircleDetection.py
