Python type casting [closed]
Good day gents,
I got code from the net at this page for simple face recognition. I am playing around with it at the moment like adding text and circles etc.
I want to find the center point of each rectangle (face) that is drawn on the frame. However I keep on getting "
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects
Here is my code:
import cv2
import math
# Load the cascade
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
# To capture video from webcam.
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
# To use a video file as input
# cap = cv2.VideoCapture('filename.mp4')
#Text Stuff
rectangleThicknes = 1
videoCenterCircleColor = (0, 255, 0)
videoCenterCircleThickness = 1
rectangleCenterCircleColour = (255, 0, 0)
rectangleCenterCircleThickness = 1
while True:
# Read the frame
_, img = cap.read()
#Draw a circle in the middle of the video
circle = cv2.circle(img, (320, 210), 5, videoCenterCircleColor, videoCenterCircleThickness)
# Convert to grayscale
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# Detect the faces
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, 1.1, 4)
# Draw the rectangle around each face
for (x, y, w, h) in faces:
###Start finding "x, y, w, h"###
rectangleXposition = format(x)
rectangleYposition = format(y)
rectangleWidth = format(w)
rectangleHeight = format(h)
rectangleHalfWidth = int(rectangleWidth) / 2
rectangleHalfHeight = int(rectangleHeight) / 2
rectangleCenterXaxis = format(rectangleXposition + rectangleHalfWidth)
rectangleCenterYaxis = format(rectangleYposition + rectangleHalfHeight)
###End finding "x, y, w, h"###
#Draw a circle in the center of the rectangle around the face
circle = cv2.circle(img, (rectangleCenterXaxis, rectangleCenterYaxis), 5, rectangleCenterCircleColour, rectangleCenterCircleThickness)
cv2.rectangle(img, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (255, 0, 0), rectangleThicknes)
# Display
cv2.imshow('img', img)
# Stop if escape key is pressed
k = cv2.waitKey(30) & 0xff
if k==27:
break
# Release the VideoCapture object
cap.release()
please lookup how format() works, most likely you did not even want it there
