 Getting Started with Images {#tutorial_py_image_display}
 ===========================
 
-Goals
------
-
--   Here, you will learn how to read an image, how to display it, and how to save it back
--   You will learn these functions : **cv.imread()**, **cv.imshow()** , **cv.imwrite()**
--   Optionally, you will learn how to display images with Matplotlib
-
-Using OpenCV
-------------
-
-### Read an image
-
-Use the function **cv.imread()** to read an image. The image should be in the working directory or
-a full path of image should be given.
-
-Second argument is a flag which specifies the way image should be read.
-
--   cv.IMREAD_COLOR : Loads a color image. Any transparency of image will be neglected. It is the
-    default flag.
--   cv.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE : Loads image in grayscale mode
--   cv.IMREAD_UNCHANGED : Loads image as such including alpha channel
-
-@note Instead of these three flags, you can simply pass integers 1, 0 or -1 respectively.
-
-See the code below:
-@code{.py}
-import numpy as np
-import cv2 as cv
-
-# Load a color image in grayscale
-img = cv.imread('messi5.jpg',0)
-@endcode
-
-**warning**
-
-Even if the image path is wrong, it won't throw any error, but `print img` will give you `None`
-
-### Display an image
-
-Use the function **cv.imshow()** to display an image in a window. The window automatically fits to
-the image size.
-
-First argument is a window name which is a string. Second argument is our image. You can create as
-many windows as you wish, but with different window names.
-@code{.py}
-cv.imshow('image',img)
-cv.waitKey(0)
-cv.destroyAllWindows()
-@endcode
-A screenshot of the window will look like this (in Fedora-Gnome machine):
-
-![image](images/opencv_screenshot.jpg)
-
-**cv.waitKey()** is a keyboard binding function. Its argument is the time in milliseconds. The
-function waits for specified milliseconds for any keyboard event. If you press any key in that time,
-the program continues. If **0** is passed, it waits indefinitely for a key stroke. It can also be
-set to detect specific key strokes like, if key a is pressed etc which we will discuss below.
-
-@note Besides binding keyboard events this function also processes many other GUI events, so you
-MUST use it to actually display the image.
-
-**cv.destroyAllWindows()** simply destroys all the windows we created. If you want to destroy any
-specific window, use the function **cv.destroyWindow()** where you pass the exact window name as
-the argument.
-
-@note There is a special case where you can create an empty window and load an image to it later. In
-that case, you can specify whether the window is resizable or not. It is done with the function
-**cv.namedWindow()**. By default, the flag is cv.WINDOW_AUTOSIZE. But if you specify the flag to be
-cv.WINDOW_NORMAL, you can resize window. It will be helpful when an image is too large in dimension
-and when adding track bars to windows.
-
-See the code below:
-@code{.py}
-cv.namedWindow('image', cv.WINDOW_NORMAL)
-cv.imshow('image',img)
-cv.waitKey(0)
-cv.destroyAllWindows()
-@endcode
-### Write an image
-
-Use the function **cv.imwrite()** to save an image.
-
-First argument is the file name, second argument is the image you want to save.
-@code{.py}
-cv.imwrite('messigray.png',img)
-@endcode
-This will save the image in PNG format in the working directory.
-
-### Sum it up
-
-Below program loads an image in grayscale, displays it, saves the image if you press 's' and exit, or
-simply exits without saving if you press ESC key.
-@code{.py}
-import numpy as np
-import cv2 as cv
-
-img = cv.imread('messi5.jpg',0)
-cv.imshow('image',img)
-k = cv.waitKey(0)
-if k == 27:         # wait for ESC key to exit
-    cv.destroyAllWindows()
-elif k == ord('s'): # wait for 's' key to save and exit
-    cv.imwrite('messigray.png',img)
-    cv.destroyAllWindows()
-@endcode
-
-**warning**
-
-If you are using a 64-bit machine, you will have to modify `k = cv.waitKey(0)` line as follows :
-`k = cv.waitKey(0) & 0xFF`
-
-Using Matplotlib
-----------------
-
-Matplotlib is a plotting library for Python which gives you wide variety of plotting methods. You
-will see them in coming articles. Here, you will learn how to display image with Matplotlib. You can
-zoom images, save them, etc, using Matplotlib.
-@code{.py}
-import numpy as np
-import cv2 as cv
-from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
-
-img = cv.imread('messi5.jpg',0)
-plt.imshow(img, cmap = 'gray', interpolation = 'bicubic')
-plt.xticks([]), plt.yticks([])  # to hide tick values on X and Y axis
-plt.show()
-@endcode
-A screen-shot of the window will look like this :
-
-![image](images/matplotlib_screenshot.jpg)
-
-@note Plenty of plotting options are available in Matplotlib. Please refer to Matplotlib docs for more
-details. Some, we will see on the way.
-
-__warning__
-
-Color image loaded by OpenCV is in BGR mode. But Matplotlib displays in RGB mode. So color images
-will not be displayed correctly in Matplotlib if image is read with OpenCV. Please see the exercises
-for more details.

-After checking that the image data was loaded correctly, we want to display our image, so we create
-an OpenCV window using the @ref cv::namedWindow function. These are automatically managed by OpenCV
-once you create them. For this you need to specify its name and how it should handle the change of
-the image it contains from a size point of view. It may be:
-
--   *WINDOW_AUTOSIZE* is the only supported one if you do not use the Qt backend. In this case the
-    window size will take up the size of the image it shows. No resize permitted!
--   *WINDOW_NORMAL* on Qt you may use this to allow window resize. The image will resize itself
-    according to the current window size. By using the | operator you also need to specify if you
-    would like the image to keep its aspect ratio (*WINDOW_KEEPRATIO*) or not
-    (*WINDOW_FREERATIO*).

 Because we want our window to be displayed until the user presses a key (otherwise the program would
 end far too quickly), we use the @ref cv::waitKey function whose only parameter is just how long
 should it wait for a user input (measured in milliseconds). Zero means to wait forever.

 Load, Modify, and Save an Image {#tutorial_load_save_image}
 ===============================
 
-@note
-   We assume that by now you know how to load an image using @ref cv::imread and to display it in a
-    window (using @ref cv::imshow ). Read the @ref tutorial_display_image tutorial otherwise.
-
-Goals
------
-
-In this tutorial you will learn how to:
-
--   Load an image using @ref cv::imread
--   Transform an image from BGR to Grayscale format by using @ref cv::cvtColor
--   Save your transformed image in a file on disk (using @ref cv::imwrite )
-
-Code
-----
-
-Here it is:
-@code{.cpp}
-#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
-
-using namespace cv;
-
-int main( int argc, char** argv )
-{
- char* imageName = argv[1];
-
- Mat image;
- image = imread( imageName, IMREAD_COLOR );
-
- if( argc != 2 || !image.data )
- {
-   printf( " No image data \n " );
-   return -1;
- }
-
- Mat gray_image;
- cvtColor( image, gray_image, COLOR_BGR2GRAY );
-
- imwrite( "../../images/Gray_Image.jpg", gray_image );
-
- namedWindow( imageName, WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
- namedWindow( "Gray image", WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
-
- imshow( imageName, image );
- imshow( "Gray image", gray_image );
-
- waitKey(0);
-
- return 0;
-}
-@endcode
-Explanation
------------
-
--#  We begin by loading an image using @ref cv::imread , located in the path given by *imageName*.
-    For this example, assume you are loading a BGR image.
--#  Now we are going to convert our image from BGR to Grayscale format. OpenCV has a really nice
-    function to do this kind of transformations:
-    @code{.cpp}
-    cvtColor( image, gray_image, COLOR_BGR2GRAY );
-    @endcode
-    As you can see, @ref cv::cvtColor takes as arguments:
-
-    -   a source image (*image*)
-    -   a destination image (*gray_image*), in which we will save the converted image.
-    -   an additional parameter that indicates what kind of transformation will be performed. In
-        this case we use **COLOR_BGR2GRAY** (because of @ref cv::imread has BGR default channel
-        order in case of color images).
-
--#  So now we have our new *gray_image* and want to save it on disk (otherwise it will get lost
-    after the program ends). To save it, we will use a function analogous to @ref cv::imread : @ref
-    cv::imwrite
-    @code{.cpp}
-    imwrite( "../../images/Gray_Image.jpg", gray_image );
-    @endcode
-    Which will save our *gray_image* as *Gray_Image.jpg* in the folder *images* located two levels
-    up of my current location.
-
--#  Finally, let's check out the images. We create two windows and use them to show the original
-    image as well as the new one:
-    @code{.cpp}
-    namedWindow( imageName, WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
-    namedWindow( "Gray image", WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
-
-    imshow( imageName, image );
-    imshow( "Gray image", gray_image );
-    @endcode
--#  Add the *waitKey(0)* function call for the program to wait forever for an user key press.
-
-Result
-------
-
-When you run your program you should get something like this:
-
-![](images/Load_Save_Image_Result_1.jpg)
-
-And if you check in your folder (in my case *images*), you should have a newly .jpg file named
-*Gray_Image.jpg*:
-
-![](images/Load_Save_Image_Result_2.jpg)
-
-Congratulations, you are done with this tutorial!
