I tried all the solutions given on stack-overflow but nothing works. I have a competition in a month and need this piece of code working ASAP. Help me P.S. If i comment out findcontours() the function runs without a segmentation fault.

vector<RotatedRect> findTextAreas(Mat image)
{
    Mat kernel = getStructuringElement(MORPH_CROSS, Size(3, 3));
    Mat dilated;
    dilate(image, dilated, Mat(), cv::Point(-1, -1), 12);
    imshow("Dilated", dilated);
    waitKey(1000);
    vector<vector<Point> > contours;
    waitKey(1000);
    findContours(dilated, contours, CV_RETR_EXTERNAL, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_NONE);**
    vector<RotatedRect> areas(contours.size());
    for (auto contour : contours)
    {
        auto box = minAreaRect(contour);
        if (box.size.width < 20 || box.size.height < 20)
            continue;
        double prop = box.angle < -45 ? box.size.height / box.size.width : box.size.width / box.size.height;
        if (prop < 2)
            continue;
        areas.push_back(box);
    }
    return areas;
}
