Hello,

I'm trying to extract bounding boxes of these numbers in this display:

original_Image

but when I try to run simple and otsu threshold I'm getting some very unclear and distorted results like this:

no matter how much I adjust the simple thresh for the image

Any idea on how to still detect the edges of the digits on these kind of images with a relatively universal way to detect bounding boxes around the digits?

Thanks for helping!

You should using Canny detect edges, this is simple. https://docs.opencv.org/3.4.3/d6/d56/...

You can normal it with HoughLines after detected edges.

Or can using the detect line, look like bellow.

Or you want to recognize digits. you can referent bellow. https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2017/02...

Ah yes that makes sense I tried that at first but using the wrong threshold values (100,200) sins I don't realy know how to adjust those and how those work,

Anyway I ran it again with some better lower values: (10, 30)

any idea on how to better use those for the better contour detection of this image and maybe if you knew how to kind of base a simple algorithm to try to auto adjust the canny values to be more universal?

Thanks for the help!

I think, before do Canny, you should adjust brightness and contrast value.

You can do this by way:
