How to Convert Python program to Elixir code

How to convert following code to elixir code.
I have made this program to detect digit and its position in a grid.

I know how to make simple elixir programs but I dont know how to make such complex programs in elixir because I dont know the syntax and about the libraries used in elixir.

I also searched about evision but very less reference I got, but not sufficient…

Here is my Python code:-

img = cv2.imread('digit_1.jpeg')
imgGrey = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
_, thrash = cv2.threshold(imgGrey, 240, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
contours, _ = cv2.findContours(thrash, cv2.RETR_TREE, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
squares=0
for contour in contours:
    approx = cv2.approxPolyDP(contour, 0.01* cv2.arcLength(contour, True), True)
    if len(approx)==4:
    
        cv2.drawContours(img, [approx],0, (255, 0, 0),2)
    x = approx.ravel()[0]
    y = approx.ravel()[1] - 5
    if len(approx) == 4:
        x1 ,y1, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(approx)
        
        aspectRatio = float(w)/h
        if aspectRatio >= 0.95 and aspectRatio <= 1.05 and (y1+h)*(x1+w) <985000:
            squares +=1
#cv2.imshow("img", img)
for contour in contours:
    approx = cv2.approxPolyDP(contour, 0.01* cv2.arcLength(contour, True), True)
    if len(approx)==4:
        cv2.drawContours(img, [approx],0, (255, 0, 0),2)
    x = approx.ravel()[0]
    y = approx.ravel()[1] - 5
    if len(approx) == 4:
        x1 ,y1, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(approx)

Please help me to convert this code into elixir code.

That’s not just converting Python to Elixir code, you also need an image processing library.

This thread has a few references: Image processing library

Though I’d probably prefer the one described here: Image - an image processing library based upon Vix

…and by the same author, it even mentions eVision: GitHub - elixir-image/image: Image processing for Elixir · GitHub

As shown in your code, the python code is drawing on a copy of the original image (3-channel BGR) while you were drawing contours on the thresholded image (1-channel image).

So you can either draw contours on the original BGR image or change the color from {0, 255, 0} to maybe {128}, but it could be very hard to see the color {128} in a gray scale image.

For question 1, Nx.slice can only slice a rectangular area for you. To get the puzzle, you can use Evision.warpPerspective. There is an example of this function, evision/examples/warp_perspective.livemd at main · cocoa-xu/evision · GitHub.

For question 2, there could be 2 possible reasons,

  • perhaps you forgot to change the second parameter of Evision.findContours/3 to Evision.cv_RETR_EXTERNAL()
  • you will need to find the contour that has shape {4, 1, 2}. And based on the sample image, I guess you were following a blog post and if so, I think you missed some intermediate steps.
