Abstract

The digital image processing is, among others, a technique that extracts data from an image in an attempt to automatically achieve specific information from an image. To help a computational system to have a better productivity and performance it is interesting to make the image background irrelevant, then the computational math are done just where it is important in the image. The goal of this work is to produce a system with this capability of separate the object of interest from the image background. For that, it was used the programming language Java and the open source library for computer vision, OpenCV, with the plugin JavaCV, which allows the use of the library in the chosen language. As result, it was observed that the program met the expectations, reducing the noises, taking off the undesired parts of images, and making the image parts of interest detached in the new image.
