Hi,

I just downloaded OpenCV today. I decided to give it a test on a really simple example.

So I did Hough Circles on this simple image:

And I implemented Hough Circle using python :

However, I got a very messy circle detection with too many circles!

I must be doing something wrongly! Could you tell me what it is?

Thanks very much!

Hi,

And I implemented Hough Circle using python :

import cv2 import numpy as np

img = cv2.imread('a_circle.jpg',0)

gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

cimg = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_GRAY2BGR)

bin=cv2.threshold(img,0,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY+cv2.THRESH_OTSU)[1]

invbin=cv2.bitwise_not(bin)

edges = cv2.Canny(img,50,150,apertureSize = 3) circles = cv2.HoughCircles(edges,cv2.HOUGH_GRADIENT,1,20,param1=50,param2=30,minRadius=100,maxRadius=0) cv2.imshow('edge',edges) cv2.waitKey(0) circles = np.uint16(np.around(circles)) for i in circles[0,:]: # draw the outer circle cv2.circle(cimg,(i[0],i[1]),i[2],(0,255,0),2) # draw the center of the circle cv2.circle(cimg,(i[0],i[1]),2,(0,0,255),3)

cv2.imshow('detected circles',cimg) cv2.waitKey(0) cv2.destroyAllWindows()
