I would like to form an external contour from different vector points. The individual contours are continuous and contain curved lines (1 pixel wide). The merged contour should connect the lines like as marked in red in the image below

image description =>

I would transfer the single points into a total vector. How can i determine the order I have to follow? I suppose every single contour must be ordered clockwise?

//xPts = vector<vector<int>> containing all x-Values of contour

int cntContours = xPts.size();
std::vector<cv::Point> contourMerged;
for (int cn = 0; cn < cntContours; cn++)
{
    vector<double> xTmp =  xPts[cn];
    vector<double> yTmp =  yPts[cn];

    for (int pn = 0; pn < xTmp.size(); pn++)
    {
        cv::Point tmp;
        int xt = (int)xTmp[pn];
        int yt = (int)yTmp[pn];
        tmp.x = xt;
        tmp.y = yt;

        contourMerged.push_back(tmp);
    }

}
// close contour
contourMerged.push_back(contourMerged[0]);

Thank you!

you can try the code below which finds a center point between all contours and sorts contours circularly ( maybe this will be a starting point )

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

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

Point center;

struct contour_sorter
{
    bool operator ()(const vector<Point>& a, const vector<Point>& b)
    {
        double angle1 = atan2(a[0].y - center.y, a[0].x - center.x) * 180.0 / CV_PI;
        double angle2 = atan2(b[0].y - center.y, b[0].x - center.x) * 180.0 / CV_PI;
        return (angle1 < angle2);
    }
};

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    Mat src = imread("15931824191786043.jpg");
    Mat bw;

    cvtColor(src, bw, COLOR_BGR2GRAY);
    bw = bw < 127;

    Rect r = boundingRect(bw);
    center = (r.tl() + r.br()) * 0.5;

    // Find contours
    vector<vector<Point> > contours;
    vector<Point> allcontours;
    findContours(bw, contours, RETR_EXTERNAL, CHAIN_APPROX_NONE);

    sort(contours.begin(), contours.end(), contour_sorter());

    for (size_t i = 0; i < contours.size()-1; i++)
    {
        drawContours(src, contours, i, Scalar(0, 0, 255), 1);

        imshow("src", src);
        waitKey(0);
    }
    waitKey(0);
}
