I am new to OpenCV so please bear with me if my qustion seems silly to you.
I have a set of images who all have a transparent border on the left and right like you can see below:
I want to erase these borders so I thought about edge detection which would be easy to do if I could transform these transparent borders to a white color. In the Docs I found that you can do this:
img = cv2.imread("./Green/image-000.png", 1)
cv2.imwrite('../image-000.png', img)
This erases the alpha channel of the png image but turns it into black.
Is there something similar that turns the borders white?
Or is there even a simpler method of erasing these borders?
You would make me really happy if you could help me!
PS: I use Python 2.7 and Ope
