Hello,
Below is the image that i'm able to capture through the video camera. But when i process this image withcv:: findcontours method in ios, it is unable to detect the contours in the image.
Can anyone help me with this issue.
findContours detects contours in binary image. So it checks which pixels of image are equal to zero, and which pixels are not. Natural image like the one you provided most likely don't have any pixels that equal to zero. So you have to turn it into binary image. For example you can threshold the image like Daniil suggested. A naive way to do so:
Mat binaryImage = (image > mean(image));
findContours( binaryImage, contours, CV_RETR_LIST, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE);

Try to find contours after thresholding this image. If it has no effect, try to do dilate, after thresholding.
