Hello everyone, I want to extract the inner circle like structure from this preprocessed image:
image description This is my best result so far (Green = Fitted Ellipse):
For the result above i used:
dilate -> findContours -> only keeping the second largest minAreaRect -> fitEllipse
For my needs the fitted ellipse is not precise enough. What i tryed already:

  • approxPolyDP: Either way it fails to detect part of the inner "circle" or it includes a lot of the defects
  • HoughCircles: The structure Iam looking for is just round but not a real circle, so it's way to unprecise
  • convexHull: Deforms the "circle" way to much
  • contourArea: Tryed to remove some of the blobs due to their small size but since lines have a small area aswell it didn't work

The perfect result (created by hand) the green part: image description

Any ideas how to get closer to this result?

Hi,

I think a clever combination of morphological operations and connected components could enhance the inner ring.

I have tried the following:

1) Dilate the image

2) find connected components and remove blobs with small area

image description

3) take the inner ring and erode the image

image description

4) again find connected components and remove small blobs

image description

5) based on this you can do the ellipse fitting

Thank you a lot, I was able to recreate your steps and got a much better resut now. My mistake was it to redraw the contours I wanted to keep onto a new Mat instead of deleting the ones I don't need from dilated image.
