i using c++ with opencv, i can't do segment pictures like this:
(sorry for my english)
PICTURE 1
PICTURE 2
i want segment the sheet, removing the background located at the edges.
i trying use "watershed" to locate the position of the sheet, but had a problem with the image format, i don't know if there another algorithm that work me.
the idea is crop the white sheet, removing the background, unknow the size and position of the sheet. but always in the center of the image looks the sheet, someone can help me?
Thanks!!
You can do some thing like,
Threshold the image, here assume the image with white sheet.
Now find contour and select largest contour.
Now get the bounding box for the largest contour and crop the sheet.

I've an image like this one ![enter image description here][1]. The non-black part is expanded at each iteration. So, after a certain point, I need to enlarge the final image so the non-black one can fit in. For now, what I'm doing is to find the contour of the non-black image,find the bounding box of the contours and check the width/height of the box. At a first time it works, but after some iterations my program finds a bounding box of size 1 (it seems that it doesn't find any contour). What the problem could be?
Ps: the program is a mosaic from a video file, I followed the opencv tutorial for find homography and other stuff.
EDIT
Sorry but I had to remove images
Just a suggestion:
It's easier to simply iterate through each element in the matrix and record the coordinates of the uppermost, bottommost, leftmost and rightmost non-zero elements. These will be the four corners of your up-right bounding rectangle. Of course it is not necessarily the rectangle of the minimum area enclosing the non-zero pixels (not a rotated rectangle), but further can be used as a ROI.
I am using open CV and C++. I have a completely dark image which has 3 colored points on it. I need their center coordinates. If I have only one colored point in the dark image, it will automatically display its center coordinate. However,if I take as input the dark image with the 3 colored points,my program will make an average if those 3 coordinates and return the center of the 3 colored points together,which is my exact problem. I need their individual center coordinates.
Can anyone suggest a method to do that please. Thanks
Here is the code http://pastebin.com/RM7chqBE
Found a solution!
load original image to grayscale
convert original image to gray
set range of intensity value depending on color that needs to be detected
vector of contours and hierarchy
findContours
vector of moments and point
iterate through each contour to find coordinates
One of the ways to do this easily is to use the findContours and drawContours function.
In the documentation you have a bit of code that explains how to retrieve the connected components of an image. Which is what you are actually trying to do.
For example you could draw every connected component you will find (that means every dot) on it's own image and use the code you already have on every image.
This may not be the most efficient way to do this however but it's really simple.
Here is how I would do it

I'm not sure this works however as I don't have time to test it but you can try it.
Anyone know how to set ROI based on image bellow?
I used Hough Transform to detect the white line and draw the red line into the image.
What I need to do is to set the ROI in the rectangle.
Since Hough Transform unable to get location of each rectangle and the main problem is I cannot defined the location (x,y) manually.
Any solution that able to auto detect the rectangle and set the ROI?
Anyone can give some idea for me or the code can be use?
Please forgive my poor english and thank you.
this blog post is very good in explaining how to find a rectangle with the hough transform and it has also some c++ code with opencv 2 API.
The approach is to find lines, intersect them, and find the rectangle. In your case you will have more rectangles and so it's a little bit more complicated..
But if you manage to obtain such image.. why don't use just some threshold and find connected regions (aka blob)?
What method can I use in opencv to remove the black section containing text at the bottom of the image?
Any help appreciated
if Blender's suggestion does not work in your case, you can:
Threshold the image so that all pixels higher than 0 will become 255.
Find contours.
Calculate a bounding rectangle for each contour.
Define the largest bounding rectangle as the region to be kept (the other ones are just the letters). You can then simply use the found rectangle as a ROI.
Good luck,
after making some edge and corner detection and then find contours i have this output.
how i can crop this image and return only this rectangle using openCV
EDIT:
i tried cvBoundingRect and then setimageROI but the output image still having some background but i want the rectangle only
Thank You.
i hope you need the rectangle area you selected.
For this you need to make another grayscale image, let us call it 'mask'. Then draw the rectangle contour obtained on it and fill it with white (255,255,255). You will obtain an image like this ( all images hand-edited in paint program):
Now just have an bitwise_and operation on both the images. You will get result as this:
**NB:**Now if it is not the one you wanted, instead you wanted this kind of selection, You can find information about it in this SOF question (thanks to karl philip for the link) .
I guess Mustafa wants to get the box automatically? If not, please accept Abid's answer and ignore this one.
Otherwise:
As I don't know how far it should generalize, for this specific image, do hough transform, which gives you straight lines. However the line at the bottom can become false positive. But with some post processing, e.g. blur, dilate, you will be able to get rid of it. Or you could use the knowledge that the lines build a rectangle.
