uh hello guys uh welcome to this video
0:02
so in this video I will show you another
0:04
Python package which allows you to
0:06
remove background from images for
0:09
completely
0:10
free so we'll take a very simple uh
0:13
example of this image so we will try to
0:16
remove the background using this Python
0:18
script so if I just say python app py
0:22
so it will take some time here 5 to 10
0:25
seconds and then it will load this
0:29
package and then it will remove the
0:31
background and
0:33
save a new image on the left hand side
0:43
so it actually loads the library first
0:45
of all and then the background removed
0:48
and you can see the notification has
0:50
come and if I open this image you will
0:53
see the background is successfully
0:54
removed and you can just see the quality
0:57
as well uh the background you can see
1:01
it's completely removed so the package
1:05
is
1:07
UTNET if you just search for this it's
1:09
actually a model a open-source model AI
1:14
model which actually removes the
1:19
images so if you just search
1:22
UTNET this is actually the model
1:26
that so they have their own GitHub page
1:29
you can check out this model right here
1:32
so it's used for object detection and
1:34
through this we actually remove
1:36
background you can see it has given
1:38
various examples on their GitHub page it
1:41
can even work with videos as well they
1:43
can remove background from videos as
1:45
well so but it best work with images it
1:49
also have a mobile app as well
1:53
so so you just need to install this uh
1:57
Python module so just go to this website
2:00
and just search for this module which is
2:03
background
2:07
remover so this is essentially this
2:09
package here simply install this package
2:12
by executing this command i have already
2:15
installed it so after installing it let
2:18
me show you a very simple example so
2:21
first of all you need to import this
2:23
package so we simply say from background
2:26
remover we need to import this remove
2:30
function and then we need to call this
2:33
function which will
2:37
be source image path here we need to
2:41
define where your source image is
2:47
located and then your
2:56
output and then we call this
2:59
function to remove the
3:04
background by passing the source and the
3:07
output image
3:12
so inside this function we simply first
3:14
of all load the library load the
3:17
model
3:20
so so inside this array we load various
3:24
model UT net model the base model then
3:28
we also need to load
3:30
the UTE human segmentation model this
3:36
model is used to remove the background
3:39
and secondly lastly we need to also
3:42
include this model as well so these
3:44
three models are required for this after
3:47
loading this we need to open the input
3:49
image by using the open
3:54
function then we read the image by the
3:58
read
3:59
function after that we remove the
4:02
background by using the remove function
4:05
and here we specify the data that we got
4:08
and then we apply these
4:11
models so these
4:14
models we need to pass these
4:17
options so you can just modify these
4:20
options play with these options to
4:24
better remove the background but these
4:27
are default options you need to just
4:29
stay with these options after that we
4:32
close the connection we open the output
4:35
image save it at that
4:38
location uh that's all that you need to
4:43
do so very simple we first of all import
4:46
the package then we load this these
4:48
three models which are the basic main
4:52
models which used to remove the
4:54
background then we use this remove
4:56
function to remove the background of the
4:59
image then we save the output image so
5:01
that's all
5:04
so if I again run this script you will
5:07
see it will remove the
5:13
background and the nice thing is that it
5:16
is completely
5:22
free it is saying
5:27
uh out image part let me
5:36
replace so the nice thing about this
5:39
module it doesn't cost any money because
5:42
majority of the time we need to
5:44
subscribe or you have various paid APIs
5:47
which does
5:49
this so you will see it has created this
5:52
file the background is successfully
5:54
removed and you can do this unlimited
5:57
number of time you can make a web
5:59
application as well using this
6:01
model using this package so let me try
6:04
this on a different image let me take
6:06
this image for example 2
6:11
dot so again if I run
6:19
this so again it
6:21
has remove the background you will see
6:24
that so it works with all the images
6:28
so you can use this package for totally
6:31
free in Python and also check out my
6:34
website which is free mediatools.com uh
6:36
which contains thousands of tools
