While trying to detect the straight lines in an image, I'm unable to find the Hough transform of the image.

I have first converted the image to grayscale but unable to find the straight lines. image description

Thus, can you help me to make the contours which were detected as pure straight lines/rectangles. Such that I can easily find the horizontal lines(i will do it later) in the image.

`def hou():
   import math
   img = cv2.imread('image5GR.jpg')
   #gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
   edges = cv2.Canny(img,50,150,apertureSize = 3)
   minLineLength = 20
   maxLineGap = 10
   lines = cv2.HoughLinesP(edges,1,math.pi/180,100,minLineLength,maxLineGap)
   for x1,y1,x2,y2 in lines[0]:
      cv2.line(img,(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(0,255,0),2)
   while True:
     cv2.imshow('houghlines',img)
     if cv2.waitKey(20) & 0xFF == 27:
        break
   cv2.destroyAllWindows()

import cv2    
hou()`

Finally, the image I am getting, which isn't appropriate(only shows a small green line at the bottom) image description

same question is posted in StackOverflow question

Here is code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3.5
#Opencv 4.0.1
#Date: 1st April, 2019

import cv2

img =  cv2.imread('img.jpg')
im2 = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
ret,thresh = cv2.threshold(im2,127,255,0)
contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh,cv2.RETR_TREE,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)

for i in range(0,len(contours)):
    cnt = contours[i]
    cv2.drawContours(img, [cnt],-1,(0,255,0)) 
    cv2.imshow('Features', img)
    cv2.waitKey(1)

Output: image description

take my bow and respects sir !!! <3

you solved my initial problem with which i was struggling. next i would be looking to extract the horizontal lines only . do you have any recommendations for it too?

You can use ROI.

no no i mean, during the lines are generation how can i only draw horizontal lines instead of those having slope more than some angles.

because for i in range(0,len(contours)): cnt = contours[i] returns some point cordinates but line start and points, as i understood.

Shariq, Used cv2.polylines or cv2.HoughLinesS. I wouldn't recommended HoughLineP.

hello,

the original image is this: image description

while I'm trying to derive something like this image description as you notice there are two lines as marked .

only once i know the coordinates and dimensions of the lines i can make some decisions out of it. :)

Ok. I see that u're posted original image. That is fine.

supra56 ( 2019-04-02 15:46:39 -0600 )edit

Shariq, I have to redo it over again because original image. In meantime, I am very busy for home renovation.

it is ok Supra, atleast you are taking your time for me. :) Btw, let me also tell you, that whole intention is to get process data and decide movement of a robot. so its ok if the lines are close if not perfect
