Removing borders from an image in Python

Question

Some videos have frames that have black strips like borders. I have to remove them from the frames. I came up with a crude solution:

import sys, cv2, numpy
i         


        

Answer 1

Why not calculate the frame and use PIL

from PIL import Image

img = Image.open('myImage.jpeg')
box = (50, 50, 100, 100)
area = img.crop(box)
