I am trying to remove a greyish background from a photo and replace it with a white one
so far I have this code:
image = cv2.imread(args["image"])
r = 150.0 / image.shape[1]
dim = (150, int(image.shape[0] * r))
resized = cv2.resize(image, dim, interpolation=cv2.INTER_AREA)
lower_white = np.array([220, 220, 220], dtype=np.uint8)
upper_white = np.array([255, 255, 255], dtype=np.uint8)
mask = cv2.inRange(resized, lower_white, upper_white) # could also use threshold
res = cv2.bitwise_not(resized, resized, mask)
cv2.imshow('res', res) # gives black background
The problem is that the image now has a black background as I have masked out the grey. How can I replace the empty pixels with white ones?

You can use the mask to index the array, and assign just the white parts of the mask to white:
coloured = resized.copy()
coloured[mask == 255] = (255, 255, 255)
