I have a set of points that make a shape (closed polyline). Now I want to copy/crop all pixels from some image inside this shape, leaving the rest black/transparent. How do I do this?
For example, I have this:
and I want to get this:

*edit - updated to work with images that have an alpha channel.
This worked for me:
You probably just want to keep the image and mask separate for functions that accept masks. However, I believe this does what you specifically asked for:
import cv2
import numpy as np
# original image
# -1 loads as-is so if it will be 3 or 4 channel as the original
image = cv2.imread('image.png', -1)
# mask defaulting to black for 3-channel and transparent for 4-channel
# (of course replace corners with yours)
mask = np.zeros(image.shape, dtype=np.uint8)
roi_corners = np.array([[(10,10), (300,300), (10,300)]], dtype=np.int32)
# fill the ROI so it doesn't get wiped out when the mask is applied
channel_count = image.shape[2] # i.e. 3 or 4 depending on your image
ignore_mask_color = (255,)*channel_count
cv2.fillPoly(mask, roi_corners, ignore_mask_color)
# from Masterfool: use cv2.fillConvexPoly if you know it's convex
# apply the mask
masked_image = cv2.bitwise_and(image, mask)
# save the result
cv2.imwrite('image_masked.png', masked_image)
