Hi All

I am working on extracting Palm Lines from an image. I reached to a point where I am able to extract Palm Lines as contour but problem is : when any palm line is intersecting each other then FindContour() function is considering those two palm line as a single contour which is failing my requirement.

I need each palm line as separate contour using openCV.

I am basically applying FindContour() on line image of Palm ROI.Do I we have some other function for this or any other algo if anyone know, Please suggest.

Thanks Kavita

this might get much harder, than you expected. (no, nothing built in)

it probably needs "thinning" (please use the search box and google) , similar to decoding finger-prints and manual analysis of the 1-pixel skeleton from that. a point with 3 neighbours denotes a T-section, 4 neighbours denote a line crossing.

good luck !
