How to transform all the contours found in a frame to a filled circle?

Let me explain, my video has many small objects, and it is hard to detect using Mosse tracking, because my objects change its form. So I had an idea, change all the found contours to filled circles, it means, convert all this objects found on this image : http://imgur.com/GiPmatl,JGsJX2C to something like this : http://imgur.com/GiPmatl,JGsJX2C#1 .

I am using python.

Once you have a series of contours, you can convert them to according circles by using

vector< vector<Point> > contours;
vector< Point2f > centers;
vector< float > radiuses;
for(size_t i =0; i<contours.size(); i++){
   Point2f center;
   float radius;
   minEnclosingCircle(contours[i], center, radius);
   centers.push_back(center);
   radiuses.push_back(radius);
}
// Now you can draw each one of them by using the circle command

You are welcome!
