In many countries, it is mandatory to show a statutory warning whenever smoking is depicted in TV episodes and films- yeah that's asinine. How to detect cigarettes and cigars (in many the scenes, the cigarette or cigar remains unlit) in a scene? I am new to Mathematica and for what it is worth, I tried these -
imgclus = ClusteringComponents[img, 8]; ArrayPlot[imgclus]
ArrayPlot[imgclus, ColorRules -> {3 -> Red, _ -> White}, FrameTicks -> True]
gave me this
Next I tried detecting cigars/cigarettes using various 'Elongation' numbers. An attempt is shown below
comp = MorphologicalComponents[img, .8];
ComponentMeasurements[ comp , "Elongation", # < 0.5 &]
{2 -> 0.42265, 4 -> 0., 6 -> 0., 7 -> 0., 8 -> 0., 9 -> 0., 11 -> 0., 13 -> 0.155177, 24 -> 0.355479, 28 -> 0., 32 -> 0., 33 -> 0.0741799, 35 -> 0., 36 -> 0.42265, 39 -> 0., 41 -> 0.313972, 42 -> 0., 45 -> 0., 46 -> 0., 47 -> 0., 48 -> 0., 49 -> 0.42265, 50 -> 0., 51 -> 0., 52 -> 0.400205, 53 -> 0.266162, 55 -> 0., 56 -> 0., 62 -> 0., 63 -> 0., 64 -> 0., 68 -> 0.481634, 72 -> 0., 74 -> 0., 75 -> 0., 77 -> 0.0348882, 79 -> 0., 83 -> 0., 84 -> 0., 85 -> 0., 87 -> 0.387192, 88 -> 0., 89 -> 0., 90 -> 0., 93 -> 0., 99 -> 0., 101 -> 0., 104 -> 0.}
By this time, I got frustrated and have put my question out here. Hope to get help
@VitaliyKaurov: At the moment I am using standard photos from web and images from "Coffee and Cigarettes" Some are:
