Revision history [back]

I am working on a program that extracts the stickers on the puzzle and then later on finds the RGB of them. Currently, I am at the point where I want to remove any contours that aren't "square" like. I was wondering how I could do this.

What I do is I load the image, gray it, blur it, canny edge detection, dilate it find contours and draw them.

Is there a way I can draw around the contours instead of filling them in? And remove contours that aren't roughly the same size around or have almost 90 degree angles?

public static void main(String[] args) {


        System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);

        Mat capturedFrame = Imgcodecs.imread("first.png");

        //Gray
        Mat gray = new Mat();
        Imgproc.cvtColor(capturedFrame, gray, Imgproc.COLOR_BGR2GRAY);

        //Blur
        Mat blur = new Mat();
        Imgproc.blur(gray, blur, new Size(3,3));
        //Canny image
        Mat canny = new Mat();
        Imgproc.Canny(blur, canny, 20, 40, 3, true);


        Imgcodecs.imwrite("test.png", canny);

        //System.exit(0);
        Mat kernel = Imgproc.getStructuringElement(1, new Size(3,3));
        Mat dilated = new Mat();
        Imgproc.dilate(canny,dilated, kernel);


        List<MatOfPoint> contours = new ArrayList<>();
        //find contours
        Imgproc.findContours(dilated, contours, new Mat(), Imgproc.RETR_TREE, Imgproc.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE);
        //draw contours

        Imgproc.cvtColor(capturedFrame, capturedFrame, Imgproc.COLOR_BGR2RGB);
        for(int i = 0; i < contours.size(); i++){
            Imgproc.drawContours(capturedFrame, contours, i, new Scalar(0, 0, 255), -1);
        }


        Imgcodecs.imwrite("after.png", capturedFrame);

        Imshow img = new Imshow("firstImg");

        img.show(capturedFrame);

    }

Here is the initial image:

Here is the image with the contours drawn:
