Hi

I am doing some simple contour detection, thresholding the images then using findcontours(). To test it, I've created a simple image in paint, manually colouring in 4 pixels hence having a known area and other more complex examples. When I run this through, everything seems offset slightly, in the case of a 2x2 square, this comes out to have an area of 1. Clearly I'm missing something. Any suggestions?

Example below(to scale). I feed in the image on the left, 3x3 pixels wide. Looking at the coordinates after findcontours(), the result is only 2x2 pixels wide.

I can see this in the raw polygons as well as the bitmap output.
