Extract shapes from an image
Posted: 2018-12-14T12:23:34-07:00
Hi, I am relatively new to ImageMagick and currently experimenting with command line options on Windows to see if I can extract some shapes from an image:
Input image: https://snag.gy/5RAnbU.jpg
Output image: https://snag.gy/3sP6dp.jpg
In the input image, the background might contain gradient.
The output should be the outline of the two human like shapes ( https://snag.gy/3sP6dp.jpg). Is it also possible to have two separate output images with one shape each?
I looked through a few other posts on using morphology to do something similar(like outlining shapes) but not exactly this.
If this is not possible, what minimal changes do I need to make to the input image to make it possible to extract the two shapes?
Also, does imagemagick has a concept of the size of the shapes which can help me extract the top N shapes from an image?
