Normbox

[Ketechi]

Hi everyone,

Today I bring you a new tool that can facilitate the use of Norm. I call this script/tool Normbox. the script allows you to take the image of the specific area you are trying to compare with Norm and also it will provide you a text file that contains the coordinates so you don’t have to find them yourself.

This is the controller functionalities:
RS/R3: Will freeze/unfreeze the frame to make it easier to adjust the box.
LS/L3: Will extract the image located on the inside of the box.
LB/L1: Will change the x and y index, for example, X1 Y1 to X2 Y2.
D-pad UP: Will move the selected Y index up.
D-pad DOWN: Will move the selected Y index down.
D-pad LEFT: Will move the selected X index left.
D-pad RIGHT: Will move the selected X index right.

Here is a tutorial I made on how to use this script:

I hope this script helps you guys,
Stay safe

GCV Error: ('invalid decimal literal', ('', 6, 7, 'from 1___normbox import GCVWorker'))
GCV Error: SyntaxError: invalid decimal literal (, line 6)

Did you know how to fix them and from wheere it provide ?

[hammer]

Rename the file to normbox.py
Delete the 1 and the _ infront.

ok i did what you said to fix, but now got these errors:
GCV Error: cannot reshape array of size 8294400 into shape (27,25,4)
Computer Vision: ERROR: Gpython process exited with error code 121

tried fixing just coping raw from pastebin to py normbox.
seems the script works in null, but when trying to run script on dual monitor setup it doesnt work

This error came up on some people pc's and after some changes it works now, at least for me ;P

Code: Select all

GCV Error: cannot reshape array of size 8294400 into shape (27,25,4)
Computer Vision: ERROR: Gpython process exited with error code 121

This was related to:

Code: Select all

self.w = self.x2 - self.x1
self.h = self.y2 - self.y1

I only changed the font size a bit to make it more clear.

EDIT: This doesnt mean that Ketechi's original Pastebin version dont work in general!!!
People told me that it worked out of the box

[hammer]

Just wanted to add his tutorial on how to use it if that is unclear



And how to implement that into a script

Thanks for this! I was getting that initial error with the original file.

Your version works at first, but after spending more than one minute expanding the box and taking a picture, I receive the following error:

Code: Select all

GCV Error: OpenCV(4.4.0) C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Temp\1\pip-req-build-k8sx3e60\opencv\modules\imgcodecs\src\loadsave.cpp:738: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_img.empty() in function 'cv::imwrite'
 
 

Any idea what may be causing this?

the error did not crash the program and i was able to take several still shots after.

Great tutorial definitely got me started with some basic questions i had. I did need to use the modified version but it works great.
