detect checkboxes from a form using opencv python

given a dental form as input, need to find all the checkboxes present in the form using image processing. I have answered my current approach below. Is there any better approach to find the checkboxes for low-quality docs as well?
sample input:

This is one approach in which we can solve the issue,
import cv2
import numpy as np
image=cv2.imread('path/to/image.jpg')
### binarising image
gray_scale=cv2.cvtColor(image,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
th1,img_bin = cv2.threshold(gray_scale,150,225,cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
Defining vertical and horizontal kernels
lineWidth = 7
lineMinWidth = 55
kernal1 = np.ones((lineWidth,lineWidth), np.uint8)
kernal1h = np.ones((1,lineWidth), np.uint8)
kernal1v = np.ones((lineWidth,1), np.uint8)
kernal6 = np.ones((lineMinWidth,lineMinWidth), np.uint8)
kernal6h = np.ones((1,lineMinWidth), np.uint8)
kernal6v = np.ones((lineMinWidth,1), np.uint8)
Detect horizontal lines
img_bin_h = cv2.morphologyEx(~img_bin, cv2.MORPH_CLOSE, kernal1h) # bridge small gap in horizonntal lines
img_bin_h = cv2.morphologyEx(img_bin_h, cv2.MORPH_OPEN, kernal6h) # kep ony horiz lines by eroding everything else in hor direction
finding vertical lines
## detect vert lines
img_bin_v = cv2.morphologyEx(~img_bin, cv2.MORPH_CLOSE, kernal1v) # bridge small gap in vert lines
img_bin_v = cv2.morphologyEx(img_bin_v, cv2.MORPH_OPEN, kernal6v)# kep ony vert lines by eroding everything else in vert direction
merging vertical and horizontal lines to get blocks. Adding a layer of dilation to remove small gaps
### function to fix image as binary
def fix(img):
img[img>127]=255
img[img<127]=0
return img
img_bin_final = fix(fix(img_bin_h)|fix(img_bin_v))
finalKernel = np.ones((5,5), np.uint8)
img_bin_final=cv2.dilate(img_bin_final,finalKernel,iterations=1)
Apply Connected component analysis on the binary image to get the blocks required.
ret, labels, stats,centroids = cv2.connectedComponentsWithStats(~img_bin_final, connectivity=8, ltype=cv2.CV_32S)
### skipping first two stats as background
for x,y,w,h,area in stats[2:]:
cv2.rectangle(image,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(0,255,0),2)

You can also use contours for this problem.
# Reading the image in grayscale and thresholding it
Image = cv2.imread("findBox.jpg", 0)
ret, Thresh = cv2.threshold(Image, 100, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
Now perform dilation and erosion twice to join the dotted lines present inside the boxes.
kernel = np.ones((3, 3), dtype=np.uint8)
Thresh = cv2.dilate(Thresh, kernel, iterations=2)
Thresh = cv2.erode(Thresh, kernel, iterations=2)
Find contours in the image with cv2.RETR_TREE flag to get all contours with parent-child relations. For more info on this.
Contours, Hierarchy = cv2.findContours(Thresh, cv2.RETR_TREE, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
Now all the boxes along with all the alphabets in the image are detected. We have to eliminate the alphabets detected, very small contours(due to noise), and also those boxes which contain smaller boxes inside them.
For this, I am running a for loop iterating over all the contours detected, and using this loop I am saving 3 values for each contour in 3 different lists.
1st value: Area of contour(Number of pixels a contour encloses)
2nd value: Contour's bounding rectangle info.
3rd value: Ratio of area of contour to the area of its bounding rectangle.
Areas = []
Rects = []
Ratios = []
for Contour in Contours:
# Getting bounding rectangle
Rect = cv2.boundingRect(Contour)
# Drawing contour on new image and finding number of white pixels for contour area
C_Image = np.zeros(Thresh.shape, dtype=np.uint8)
cv2.drawContours(C_Image, [Contour], -1, 255, -1)
ContourArea = np.sum(C_Image == 255)
# Area of the bounding rectangle
Rect_Area = Rect[2]*Rect[3]
# Calculating ratio as explained above
Ratio = ContourArea / Rect_Area
# Storing data
Areas.append(ContourArea)
Rects.append(Rect)
Ratios.append(Ratio)
Filtering out undesired contours:
Getting indices of those contours which have an area less than 3600(threshold value for this image) and which have Ratio >= 0.99.
The ratio defines the extent of overlap of contour to its bounding rectangle. As in this case, the desired contours are rectangle in shape, this ratio for them is expected to be "1.0" (0.99 for keeping a threshold of small noise).
BoxesIndices = [i for i in range(len(Contours)) if Ratios[i] >= 0.99 and Areas[i] > 3600]
Now final contours are those among contours at indices "BoxesIndices" which do not have a child contour(this will extract innermost contours) and if they have a child contour, then this child contour should not be one of the contours at indices "BoxesIndices".
FinalBoxes = [Rects[i] for i in BoxesIndices if Hierarchy[0][i][2] == -1 or BoxesIndices.count(Hierarchy[0][i][2]) == 0]
Final output image

Remove undesired connected pixels from an image with Python

I'm a beginner in image processing with Python so I need help.
I'm trying to remove areas of connected pixels from my pictures with the code posted below. Actually, it works but not well.
What I desire is the removing of areas of pixels, such as those marked in red in the pictures reported below, from my images, so as to obtain a cleaned picture.
Would be also great to set a minimum and a maximum limit for the dimensions of the detected areas of connected pixels.
Example of a picture with marked areas 1
Example of a picture with marked areas 2
This is my currently code:
### LOAD MODULES ###
import numpy as np
import imutils
import cv2
def is_contour_bad(c): # Decide what I want to find and its features
peri=cv2.contourArea(c, True) # Find areas
approx=cv2.approxPolyDP(c, 0.3*peri, True) # Set areas approximation
return not len(approx)>2 # Threshold to decide if add an area to the mask for its removing (if>2 remove)
### DATA PROCESSING ###
image=cv2.imread("025.jpg") # Load a picture
gray=cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY) # Convert to grayscale
cv2.imshow("Original image", image) # Plot
edged=cv2.Canny(gray, 50, 200, 3) # Edges of areas detection
cnts=cv2.findContours(edged.copy(), cv2.RETR_LIST, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE) # Find contours: a curve joining all the continuous points (along the boundary), having same color or intensity
cnts=imutils.grab_contours(cnts)
mask=np.ones(image.shape[:2], dtype="uint8")*255 # Setup the mask with white background
# Loop over the detected contours
for c in cnts:
# If the contour satisfies "is_contour_bad", draw it on the mask
if is_contour_bad(c):
cv2.drawContours(mask, [c], -1, 0, -1) # (source image, list of contours, with -1 all contours in [c] pass, 0 is the intensity, -1 the thickness)
image_cleaned=cv2.bitwise_and(image, image, mask=mask) # Remove the contours from the original image
cv2.imshow("Adopted mask", mask) # Plot
cv2.imshow("Cleaned image", image_cleaned) # Plot
cv2.imwrite("cleaned_025.jpg", image_cleaned) # Write in a file

You may execute the following processing steps:
Threshold the image to binary image using cv2.threshold.
It's not a must, but in your case it looks like shades of gray are not important.
Use closing morphological operation, for closing small gaps in the binary image.
Use cv2.findContours with cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL parameter, for getting the contours (perimeter) surrounding the white clusters.
Modify the logic of "bad contour", to return true, only if area is large (assuming you only want to clean the large three contour).
Here is the updated code:
### LOAD MODULES ###
import numpy as np
import imutils
import cv2
def is_contour_bad(c): # Decide what I want to find and its features
peri = cv2.contourArea(c) # Find areas
return peri > 50 # Large area is considered "bad"
### DATA PROCESSING ###
image = cv2.imread("025.jpg") # Load a picture
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY) # Convert to grayscale
# Convert to binary image (all values above 20 are converted to 1 and below to 0)
ret, thresh_gray = cv2.threshold(gray, 20, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
# Use "close" morphological operation to close the gaps between contours
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18339988/implementing-imcloseim-se-in-opencv
thresh_gray = cv2.morphologyEx(thresh_gray, cv2.MORPH_CLOSE, cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_ELLIPSE, (5,5)));
#Find contours on thresh_gray, use cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL to get external perimeter
_, cnts, _ = cv2.findContours(thresh_gray, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE) # Find contours: a curve joining all the continuous points (along the boundary), having same color or intensity
image_cleaned = gray
# Loop over the detected contours
for c in cnts:
# If the contour satisfies "is_contour_bad", draw it on the mask
if is_contour_bad(c):
# Draw black contour on gray image, instead of using a mask
cv2.drawContours(image_cleaned, [c], -1, 0, -1)
#cv2.imshow("Adopted mask", mask) # Plot
cv2.imshow("Cleaned image", image_cleaned) # Plot
cv2.imwrite("cleaned_025.jpg", image_cleaned) # Write in a file
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
Result:
Marking contours found for testing:
for c in cnts:
if is_contour_bad(c):
# Draw green line for marking the contour
cv2.drawContours(image, [c], 0, (0, 255, 0), 1)
Result:
There is still work to be done...
Update
Two iterations approach:
First iteration - remove the large contour.
Second iteration - remove small but bright contours.
Here is the code:
import numpy as np
import imutils
import cv2

Remove top section of image above border line to detect text document

Using OpenCV (python) I am trying to remove the section of image which is above the border line (white area in this sample image where ORIGINAL is writtn) in the image shown below
Using horizontal and vertical kernels I am able to draw the wireframe, however that does not work many times because many times due to scanning quality few horizontal or vertical lines appear outside the wireframe which causes wrong contour detection. In this image also you can see on top right there is noise which I am detecting as topmost horizontal line.
What I want is, once I get the actual box then I can simply use x, y coordinates for OCR scanning of needed fields (like reference number, Issued In etc).
Following is what I have been able to extract using the code below. However not able to clip the outer extra section of image due to noisy horizontal or vertical lines outside this wireframe. Also tried filling outside section with black and then detecting the contours.
Suggestions please...
kernel_length = np.array(image).shape[1]//40
# A verticle kernel of (1 X kernel_length), which will detect all the verticle lines from the image.
verticle_kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (1, kernel_length))
# A horizontal kernel of (kernel_length X 1), which will help to detect all the horizontal line from the image.
hori_kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (kernel_length, 1))
# A kernel of (3 X 3) ones.
kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (3, 3))
# Morphological operation to detect verticle lines from an image
img_temp1 = cv2.erode(gray, verticle_kernel, iterations=3)
verticle_lines_img = cv2.dilate(img_temp1, verticle_kernel, iterations=3)

Instead of trying to find horizontal/vertical lines to detect the text document, a simple contour filtering approach should work here. The idea is to threshold the image to obtain a binary image then find contours and sort using contour area. The largest contour should be the text document. We can then apply a four point perspective transform to obtain a birds eye view of the image. Here's the results:
Input image:
Output:
Notice how the output image only has the desired text document and is aligned without a skewed angle.

# Load image, grayscale, Gaussian blur, Otsu's threshold
image = cv2.imread("1.jpg")
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
blur = cv2.GaussianBlur(gray, (3,3), 0)
thresh = cv2.threshold(blur, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV + cv2.THRESH_OTSU)[1]
# Find contours and sort for largest contour
cnts = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
cnts = cnts[0] if len(cnts) == 2 else cnts[1]

displayCnt = approx
break
# Obtain birds' eye view of image
warped = four_point_transform(image, displayCnt.reshape(4, 2))

How to extract rectangles of varying edge intensity from images?

I am trying to extract the account number from an image of a cheque. The logic that I have is that, I am trying to find the rectangle that contains the account number, slice the bounding rectangle and then feed the slice into an OCR to get the text out of it.
The problem I am facing is when the rectangle is not very prominent and light colour, I am not able to get the rectangle contour since the edges are not connected totally.
How to overcome this?
Things I tried, but did not work are
I cannot increase the erosion iteration, to erode it more, because then the edges connect with the surrounding black pixels and form a different shape.
Reducing the threshold offset might help, but, it seems inefficient. Since the code has to work with several types of images. I can start with offset 10 and keep incrementing the offset and checking if I found the rectangle or not. This will increase the time a lot for cheques with prominent rectangles that work well at offset 20 or more. And since I don't have a condition to check if the edges of the rectangle are prominent or not, the loop has to be applied in all the cheques.
Keeping the above points in mind. Can someone help me out with a solution to this problem?

Code
from skimage.filters import threshold_adaptive, threshold_local
import cv2
Step 1:
image = cv2.imread('cropped.png')
Step 2:
Using adaptive threshold from skimage to remove the background, so that I can get the account number rectangle box. This works fine for the cheques where the rectangle is more pronounced, but when the rectangle edges are thin, or are lighter in colour, the threshold results in
unconnected edges, because of which I am not able to find the contours. I have attached examples of this further down in the question.
account_number_block = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_RGB2GRAY)
account_number_block = threshold_adaptive(account_number_block, 251, offset=20)
account_number_block = account_number_block.astype("uint8") * 255
Step 3:
Erode the image a bit to try to connect small disconnections in the edges
kernel = np.ones((3,3), np.uint8)
account_number_block = cv2.erode(account_number_block, kernel, iterations=5)
Find the contours

Point/Feature detection from upper and lower threshold of curvature - Curvilinear Quadrilateral Shape Detection algorithm

Is it possible to create a polygon from a set of points along a line with rough curvature, such that the points are selected between two values of curvature?
I am attempting to retrieve an approximated curvilinear quadrilateral shape from a given image using python's opencv package (cv2).
For example:
Given an image after edge detection such as this:
and after finding contours with cv2.findContours such as this:
(Sidenote: It would be great if this would actually give a square-ish shape rather than going around the line - an algorithm to close in the gap in this image's shape on it's right side is also required. Dilation/erosion may work but will likely get rid of certain features that may be desired to be kept.)
after that, we can use polyDPApprox on the contours like this:
However, this is not curvature dependent - it's just approximating by use of largest deviance from the lines. If we want to leave out some of the fine detail (the idea being that these are likely from errors) and keep the points with smaller curvature (broad shape) - can we use a function to provide something like this?:
(The red fill in just shows that the shape would be closed in to a curvilinear quadrilateral.)
Related question:
Is it possible in OpenCV to plot local curvature as a heat-map representing an object's "pointiness"?
Here is the function used to analyze the input image in case anyone wants it:
# input binary image
def find_feature_points(img):
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
cv2.namedWindow('img', WINDOW_NORMAL)
cv2.imshow("img", gray)
cv2.waitKey(0)
contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(gray, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
# Draw contours to image
print contours
copy = img.copy()
# img - Image.
# pts - Array of polygonal curves.
# npts - Array of polygon vertex counters.
# ncontours - Number of curves.
# isClosed - Flag indicating whether the drawn polylines are closed or not. If they are closed, the function draws a line from the last vertex of each curve to its first vertex.
# color - Polyline color.
# thickness - Thickness of the polyline edges.
# lineType - Type of the line segments. See the line() description.
# shift - Number of fractional bits in the vertex coordinates.
cv2.polylines(img=copy, pts=contours, isClosed=1, color=(0,0,255), thickness=3)
cv2.namedWindow('contour', WINDOW_NORMAL)
cv2.imshow("contour", copy)
cv2.waitKey(0)
# Find approximation to contours
approx_conts = []
for c in contours:
curve = c
epsilon = 200
closed = True
approx_conts.append(cv2.approxPolyDP(curve, epsilon, closed))
# draw them
cv2.drawContours(img, approx_conts, -1, (0, 255, 0), 3)
cv2.namedWindow('approx', WINDOW_NORMAL)
cv2.imshow("approx", img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
return

Here's a possible solution. The idea is:
Obtain binary image. Load image, convert to grayscale, and Otsu's threshold
Find convex hull. Determine the surrounding perimeter of the object and draw this onto a mask
Perform morphological operations. Fill small holes using morph close to connect the contour
Draw outline. Find the external contour of the mask and draw onto the image
