If you are in Matlab,there is a convenient function imclearborder. But I don't very fimilar the OpenCV. So I writer such code

#include<opencv.hpp>
using namespace cv;

int main() {
    Mat srcImg = imread("border.jpg",IMREAD_GRAYSCALE);
    int totalRows = srcImg.rows;
    int totalCols = srcImg.cols;
    int strt = 0, flg = 0;
    int iRows = 0, jCols = 0;
    while (iRows < srcImg.rows)
    {
        if (flg == 1)
            totalRows = -1;
        Point seed(strt, iRows);
        iRows++;
        floodFill(srcImg, seed, Scalar(0));
        if (iRows == totalRows)
        {
            flg++;
            iRows = 0;
            strt = totalCols - 1;
        }
    }
    imshow("src", srcImg);
    waitKey();
    return 0;
}

But I will get a poor result like

This is my border.jpg

This is my expected result

  1. What error in my code?
  2. Is there any better method to do this?

try this, it has a simpler way to do what your code does. but there is still a dot on result image when using floodFill() method.

so you should use findContours() to get rid of it.

#include<opencv2/core.hpp>
#include<opencv2/imgproc.hpp>
#include<opencv2/highgui.hpp>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main() {
    Mat srcImg = imread("test.png", IMREAD_GRAYSCALE);
    Mat dstImg = srcImg > 127;

    rectangle(dstImg, Rect(0, 0, dstImg.cols, dstImg.rows), Scalar(255));
    floodFill(dstImg, Point(0, 0), Scalar(0));

    imshow("srcImg", srcImg);
    imshow("dstImg", dstImg);

    srcImg = srcImg > 127;
    vector<vector<Point> > contours;
    findContours(srcImg, contours, RETR_LIST, CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE);

    for (size_t i = 0; i < contours.size(); i++)
    {
        Rect bounding_rect = boundingRect(contours[i]);
        Rect test_rect = bounding_rect & Rect(1, 1, dstImg.cols - 2, dstImg.rows - 2);
        if (bounding_rect != test_rect)
        {
            drawContours(srcImg, contours, (int)i, Scalar(0),-1);
        }
    }
    imshow("Result using findContours", srcImg);
    waitKey();
    return 0;
}

Thanks very very much again. BTW,could you tell me what meaning of your srcImg > 127

you can find the answer in documentation

Comparison: A cmpop B, A cmpop alpha, alpha cmpop A, where cmpop is one of >, >=, ==, !=, <=, <. The result of comparison is an 8-bit single channel mask whose elements are set to 255 (if the particular element or pair of elements satisfy the condition) or 0.
