Colors channels and Python

Publish Date: Jul 22 '19

Computer screens are made up of color combinations (red, green, blue). If you have any color images, you can see the amount of red, green and blue for each colors.

This is all theoretical and all, but is that hard to do? No it's actually easy.

You need an image processing library. Most would say Pillow, Python image library. But OpenCV (cv2) is another good choice.

OpenCV is a computer vision module, so you can do a lot more besides the basic image processing.

Split the color channels:

First load an image (with OpenCV), then split into the red, green and blue color channels.

#!/usr/bin/python3
b, g, r = cv2.split(img)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So complete code:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import cv2
import numpy as np

img = cv2.imread("lena.png", cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED)

b, g, r = cv2.split(img)

cv2.imshow("B", b)
cv2.imshow("G", g)
cv2.imshow("R", r)

cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
