I want to find center of palm. Firstly,I found contours and select max area contour. And I used pointPolygonTest. My code and result image are below, but I didn't find any point using pointPolygonTest. What is the problem?

`

     double dist, maxdist = -1;
     Point center;

    for(int i = 0; i< drawing.cols; i += 10) {
    for(int j = 0; j< drawing.rows; j += 10) {

        dist = pointPolygonTest(contours[maxAreaIndex], Point(i,j),true);
        cout << "   dist " << dist << endl;
        if(dist > maxdist)
        {
            maxdist = dist;
            center = cv::Point(i,j);
        }
    }
}
cout << "maxdist = " << maxdist << endl;
circle(drawing, center, maxdist, cv::Scalar(220,75,20),1,CV_AA);
/// Show in a window
namedWindow( "Contours", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
imshow( "Contours", drawing );`

The drawing image is below image description

This is a basic debugging task: 1) how does your contour look like? (e.g. use drawContours and show the image) 2) What output do you get right now?

I see some cout in your code. As suggested by @FooBar, can you post the output you get?

I used drawContours and there is a result image in my question text. All calculated distance are negative now.

Your shape doesn't seem to be close. So the function can't know if the point is inside or outside the shape... Just add the first point at the end of your shape to close it:

contours[maxAreaIndex].push_back(contours[maxAreaIndex][0]);

It should do the trick...

I tried it but it didn't work.

thanks @petititi. I close the shape another way, and it works :) thank you again.
