You can add two images by OpenCV function, cv.add(). res = img1 + img2. Both images should be of same depth and type.
For example, consider below sample:
You can subtract two images by OpenCV function, cv.subtract(). res = img1 - img2. Both images should be of same depth and type. Note that when used with RGBA images, the alpha channel is also subtracted.
For example, consider below sample:
This includes bitwise AND, OR, NOT and XOR operations. They will be highly useful while extracting any part of the image, defining and working with non-rectangular ROI etc. Below we will see an example on how to change a particular region of an image.
I want to put OpenCV logo above an image. If I add two images, it will change color. If I blend it, I get an transparent effect. But I want it to be opaque. If it was a rectangular region, I could use ROI as we did in last chapter. But OpenCV logo is a not a rectangular shape. So you can do it with bitwise operations.
