###This page is a draft to host some simple codes in order to speed up coding development in Python for the Infragram Webcam. The codes presented here are are based on OpenCV 2 library for video processing and Numpy for array math (Numpy arrays are supported by OpenCV 2). **Note**: These codes were designed for the Infragram Webcam using Rosco #2007 filter, which means that the blue channel contains blue light information, while the red channel contains red/infrared. ###Basic Functions ####NDVI function The color code for this function is different from the one used at infragram.org so to have a smooth transition from negative NDVI values to positive NDVI values (on the website it toggles from cyan to green). In this version, the color scale is smoother, which hides noise near zero NDVI. import numpy as np #arrays and math import cv2 #opencv library #------------------------------------------- #----------------NDVI Function-------------- #------------------------------------------- #NDVI Calculation #Input: an RGB image frame from infrablue source (blue is blue, red is pretty much infrared) #Output: an RGB frame with equivalent NDVI of the input frame def NDVICalc(original): "This function performs the NDVI calculation and returns an RGB frame)" lowerLimit = 5 #this is to avoid divide by zero and other weird stuff when color is near black #First, make containers oldHeight,oldWidth = original[:,:,0].shape; ndviImage = np.zeros((oldHeight,oldWidth,3),np.uint8) #make a blank RGB image ndvi = np.zeros((oldHeight,oldWidth),np.int) #make a blank b/w image for storing NDVI value red = np.zeros((oldHeight,oldWidth),np.int) #make a blank array for red blue = np.zeros((oldHeight,oldWidth),np.int) #make a blank array for blue #Now get the specific channels. Remember: (B , G , R) red = (original[:,:,2]).astype('float') blue = (original[:,:,0]).astype('float') #Perform NDVI calculation summ = red+blue summ[summ=128] = 0; #if the NDVI is positive, no blue info #And finally output the image. Remember: (B , G , R) #Red Channel ndviImage[:,:,2] = redSat #Blue Channel ndviImage[:,:,0] = bluSat #Green Channel ndviImage[:,:,1] = 255-(bluSat+redSat) return ndviImage; ####DVI Function This is the non-normalized version. Most of the times it has no significant difference from NDVI, but for people interested in it here it is. import numpy as np #arrays and math import cv2 #opencv library #------------------------------------------- #----------------DVI Function--------------- #------------------------------------------- #DVI Calculation #Input: an RGB image frame from infrablue source (blue is blue, red is pretty much infrared) #Output: an RGB frame with equivalent DVI of the input frame def DVICalc(original): "This function performs the DVI calculation and returns an RGB frame)" #First, make containers oldHeight,oldWidth = original[:,:,0].shape; dviImage = np.zeros((oldHeight,oldWidth,3),np.uint8) #make a blank RGB image dvi = np.zeros((oldHeight,oldWidth),np.int) #make a blank b/w image for storing DVI value red = np.zeros((oldHeight,oldWidth),np.int) #make a blank array for red blue = np.zeros((oldHeight,oldWidth),np.int) #make a blank array for blue #Now get the specific channels. Remember: (B , G , R) red = (original[:,:,2]).astype('float') blue = (original[:,:,0]).astype('float') #Perform DVI calculation dvi = (((red-blue)+255)/2).astype('uint8') #the index redSat = (dvi-128)*2 #red channel bluSat = ((255-dvi)-128)*2 #blue channel redSat[dvi<128] = 0; #if the NDVI is negative, no red info bluSat[dvi>=128] = 0; #if the NDVI is positive, no blue info #And finally output the image. Remember: (B , G , R) #Red Channel dviImage[:,:,2] = redSat #Blue Channel dviImage[:,:,0] = bluSat #Green Channel dviImage[:,:,1] = 255-(bluSat+redSat) return dviImage; ### Example Code Using the above functions (not pasted in the following code for brevity), a simple code to output the NDVI, DVI and Raw stream from webcam is presented. A snapshot function is also available. #------------------------------------------- #----------------Main Function-------------- #------------------------------------------- cv2.namedWindow("preview NDVI") vc = cv2.VideoCapture(0) if vc.isOpened(): # try to get the first frame rval, frame = vc.read() height = vc.get(3) #get height width = vc.get(4) #get width #Text Related x = int(width/2) y = int(2*height/3) text_color = (255,255,255) #color as (B,G,R) font = cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN thickness = 2 font_size = 2.0 else: rval = False while rval: ndviImage = NDVICalc(frame) dviImage = DVICalc(frame) cv2.putText(frame, "Raw Image", (x,y), font, font_size, text_color, thickness, lineType=cv2.CV_AA) cv2.putText(ndviImage, "NDVI Image", (x,y), font, font_size, text_color, thickness, lineType=cv2.CV_AA) cv2.putText(dviImage, "DVI Image", (x,y), font, font_size, text_color, thickness, lineType=cv2.CV_AA) newFrame = np.concatenate((ndviImage,dviImage,frame),axis=1) cv2.imshow("preview NDVI", newFrame) rval, frame = vc.read() key = cv2.waitKey(1)&0xFF #get a key press if key == ord('q'): #q for quitting break elif key == ord('p'): #p for printscreen curtime = datetime.datetime.now() formattedTime = curtime.strftime("%Y%m%d-%H-%M-%S.jpg") print 'filename:%s'%formattedTime cv2.imwrite(formattedTime,newFrame) print "Screenshot taken!" # When everything done, release the capture vc.release() cv2.destroyAllWindows()...
