I'm working on a java image processing program(based on OpenCV libraryJava). I need to remove the small regions from the image to get a clean image that contain only the large circle ?

You can also print blobs filtering by Size, you'll remove all the blobs standing alone

U mean I need to use Filter by size to get rid of all small blobs ?! Could u please tell me the name of filter that can I use for this purpose ?

Check this example, you can set parameters of the BlobDetector to filter smaller blobs. Maybe also the circularity could be usefull in your case, I can't tell without the original image

Looks like you should apply dilate, erode, erode, dilate to clean up the image. Then, you can use findcontours and eliminate contours with "small" area as well as any contours that touch the image borders. You may have to experiment a bit with the first part.
