[FIXED] How do I crop an image given the coordinates of the four corners to crop

Issue

I need to crop the license plate out of a car's image with python given the coordinates for bounding boxes of the plate. (4 coordinates) . Any tips on how I could do this ?

I have the following code , but does not work as expected.

> x1, y1: 1112 711 
> x2, y2: 1328 698 
> x3, y3: 1330 749 
> x4, y4: 1115 761

image = cv2.imread(IMAGE_PATH)
fixed_image = cv2.cvtColor(image,cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

new_img = cv2.rectangle(fixed_image, (x3,y3), (x1,y1), (0, 255, 0), 5) 

plt.figure(figsize=(12,13))
plt.imshow(new_img)

Image for reference

Cropped image

Thank you.

Solution

since the coords you are getting are a POLYGON and not a RECTANGLE, you will have to make some adjustments in your slicing, the simplest to do is adjust your rectangle:

x1, y1: 1112 711
x2, y2: 1328 698
x3, y3: 1330 749
x4, y4: 1115 761

top_left_x = min([x1,x2,x3,x4])
top_left_y = min([y1,y2,y3,y4])
bot_right_x = max([x1,x2,x3,x4])
bot_right_y = max([y1,y2,y3,y4])

now you can do

img[top_left_y:bot_right_y, top_left_x:bot_right_x]

please note that slicing does NOT include the end point, so you might want to do

img[top_left_y:bot_right_y+1, top_left_x:bot_right_x+1]
