I have this code in which I simply display an image using OpenCV:
import numpy as np
import cv2
class LoadImage:
def loadImage(self):
self.img=cv2.imread('photo.png')
cv2.imshow('Test',self.img)
self.pressedkey=cv2.waitKey(0)
# Wait for ESC key to exit
if self.pressedkey==27:
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
# Start of the main program here
if __name__=="__main__":
LI=LoadImage()
LI.loadImage()
Once the window displayed with the photo in it, I want to display on the console (terminal) the position of the mouse when I click over the picture. I have no idea how to perform this. Any help please?
Here is an example mouse callback function, that captures the left button double-click
def draw_circle(event,x,y,flags,param):
global mouseX,mouseY
if event == cv2.EVENT_LBUTTONDBLCLK:
cv2.circle(img,(x,y),100,(255,0,0),-1)
mouseX,mouseY = x,y
You then need to bind that function to a window that will capture the mouse click
img = np.zeros((512,512,3), np.uint8)
cv2.namedWindow('image')
cv2.setMouseCallback('image',draw_circle)
then, in a infinite processing loop (or whatever you want)
while(1):
cv2.imshow('image',img)
k = cv2.waitKey(20) & 0xFF
if k == 27:
break
elif k == ord('a'):
print mouseX,mouseY
What Does This Code Do?
It stores the mouse position in global variables mouseX
& mouseY
every time you double click inside the black window and press the a key that will be created.
elif k == ord('a'):
print mouseX,mouseY
will print the current stored mouse click location every time you press the a button.
Code "Borrowed" from here.
