Creating A WaterMark on Image using OpenCV with Source Code

Introduction:
We are now making watermarking images using OpenCV in Python in this project. Watermark is looking left Text/logo onto the image. This helps us to identify the actual developer of an artist. Watermarks are used to protect the copyright of the picture. watermarks sometimes work as branding & marketing for the company or as an individual.
A watermark is a logo, signature, text, or pattern that is intentionally onto different images and is used to protect the copyright of the photos & branding. The primary purpose of Watermarking is to promote a brand. After watermarking, a picture is too difficult to copy or use the original image without the company & developer’s permission. Before giving watermarking to the vision we have to OpenCV module install in your system. OpenCV is a python library that provides various features. it is easy to use and does not need any setup. Let’s understand this now open Your code editor.

# importing cv2
import cv2
# importing watermark that we are going to use & python file and image in same folder
logo = cv2.imread("logo.png")
# importing image on which we are going to apply watermark
img = cv2.imread("image1.png")
# height and width of the watermark
h_logo, w_logo, _ = logo.shape
# height and width of the image
h_img, w_img, _ = img.shape
# calculating coordinates of center
# calculating center, where we are going to
# place our watermark
center_y = int(h_img/2)
center_x = int(w_img/2)
# calculating from top, bottom, right and left
top_y = center_y - int(h_logo/2)
left_x = center_x - int(w_logo/2)
bottom_y = top_y + h_logo
right_x = left_x + w_logo
# adding watermark to the image
destination = img[top_y:bottom_y, left_x:right_x]
result = cv2.addWeighted(destination, 1, logo, 0.5, 0)
# displaying and saving image
img[top_y:bottom_y, left_x:right_x] = result
cv2.imwrite("watermarked.jpg", img)
cv2.imshow("Watermarked Image", img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
