How to Draw the Letter ‘E’ on an Image Using Scikit-Image

e_on_an_image

Requirements

Develop a program in Python to draw an E at the center of an input image.

  • Program must be developed using Python 3.x.
  • Program must use scikit-image library — a simple and popular open source library for image processing in Python.
  • The input image must be a color image.
  • The letter must be at the center of the image and must be created by updating pixels, not by using any of the drawing functions.
  • The final output must be a side-by-side image created using matplotlib.
  • Must test the same code with two different images or two different sizes.

Directions

Find any two images/photos. 

Create a new Jupyter Notebook. 

Here are the critical reference points for the letter E. These points mark the corners of the four rectangles that make up the letter E.

Here is the pdf of my Jupyter notebook.

Here is the raw code for the program in Python:

# ## Description
# This program draws an E at the center of an input image.
# ## Purpose
# The purpose of this assignment is to introduce the basic functions of the Python scikit-image
# library -- a simple and popular open source library for image processing in Python. The scikitimage
# extends scipy.ndimage to provide a set of image processing routines including I/O, color
# and geometric transformations, segmentation, and other basic features.
# ## File Path

# In[1]:


# Move to the directory where the input images are located
get_ipython().run_line_magic('cd', 'D:\\Dropbox\\work')

# List the files in that directory
