Directions

Let’s say you have an image like the one below. The file name is 1.jpg.

To display it using OpenCV, go to your favorite IDE or text editor and create the following Python program:

# Display a color image using OpenCV
import numpy as np
import cv2

# Load an color image in grayscale
img = cv2.imread('1.jpg',1)

cv2.imshow('image',img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Save the program into the same directory as 1.jpg.

Run the file.

Watch the image display to your computer. That’s it!
