I need to count the black and white pixels of the object in REAL TIME. What is the best method to use for this ? In my program, First I get the biggest contour .The next process is to count the pixels(black) of the object that have no mask but I don't know how to do it. Thanks in advance. image description

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

 using namespace cv;
 int main(int argc, char** argv)
 {
 vector<Vec4i> hierarchy;
     CvCapture* capture = cvCaptureFromCAM(0);
 cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 270);
 cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 190);

    cv::Mat src;

    while(true) {
        src = cvQueryFrame( capture );

    Mat gray;
    cvtColor(~src, gray, CV_BGR2GRAY);
    //medianBlur(gray,gray,27);
    threshold(gray, gray, 220, 255, THRESH_BINARY);
    vector<vector<Point> > contours;
    findContours( gray.clone(), contours, hierarchy,CV_RETR_EXTERNAL,
    CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE, Point(0, 0) );


    for (int i = 0; i < contours.size(); i++)
    {
        double area =contourArea(contours[i]);
        Rect rect = boundingRect(contours[i]);

        if (area >= 30&& abs(1 - ((double)rect.width / (double)rect.height)) <=
            0.1)   
        {

            Mat mask = Mat::zeros(gray.rows, gray.cols, CV_8UC1);
            drawContours( mask, contours, i, CV_RGB(255,255,255), -1, 8,
            vector<Vec4i>(), 0,Point() ); //masking//
            Mat crop(src.rows, src.cols, CV_8UC3);
            crop.setTo(Scalar(0,0,255));
            src.copyTo(crop, mask);


            Mat masked;
            gray.copyTo(masked, mask);
            int count_black = cv::countNonZero(masked == 255);
            printf("count_black = %d\n",count_black);
            printf("ContourArea = %.0f\n\n",
                  ((contourArea(contours[i]))+( arcLength( contours[i],
                    true )/2)));


           imshow("cropped", crop);
           imshow("source", src);
            waitKey(33);
        }


    }



}

You can use the function cv::countNonZero to count the number of black pixels. If your image only contains black and white pixels, the number of white pixels will be: (image_width * image_height) - black_pixel_count

I used the countNonZero but I can't get the black pixels. Please look at the code that I have update.

What you are trying to achieve with cv::countNonZero(masked == 255)? http://docs.opencv.org/modules/core/doc/operations_on_arrays.html says argument must be array, not some logical comparison.

In that part, I count the black pixels but the result is wrong.

You do not pass Matrix as argument, do you understand this?

sorry but I don't understand. Please edit my code so I can understand it easily.

@lenteken have you solved it already? (I assume after 3 months you should have). You only pass the Mat object on the countNonZero function, and it will return the number of nonzero (anything not black) pixels. Subtract that to the total number of pixels, and you get your black pixel count.
