Hello,

Im trying to use SimpleBlobDetector to remove small object from my binary image,

first I creat an object of type SimpleBlobDetector, and then detect blobs like this code below

    SimpleBlobDetector blobDetector( params );
    blobDetector.create("SimpleBlob");      
    blobDetector.detect( src, keyPoints );

This code detect for example 2 blobs from 3 according to the parameters. Now my question is how to delete the unwanted blob from the mage...?

I have two other questions, how to get the coordinates of blobs, and can we frame a blob in a rectangle?

thanks :)

If the objects you want to remove are literally only several pixels large, than simply apply erosion and dilation morphological operators. The will yield better results if a far simpler way.

  • By erosion you cut of 1 layer of pixels of all blobs
  • Dilation then adds again 1 layer of pixels onto all blobs

If you perform enough erosion for small blobs to disappear, you can easily reconstruct the larger ones with a followed dilation operator.

Thanks for replying me :) ... Ive tried erosion and dilation but didn't work, look to the image I linked here http://answers.opencv.org/question/10415/remove-small-objetc-from-image-after-segmentation/ ....

Morphological operations will change shape of tumore area. I think, you can use contours detection and left only contour with area in some range. If range of area is not enough u can use percent of wight pixels in bounding rect or convex hull, ellipticity and other features.
