Revision history [back]

I used this code to draw "Bounding boxes". Now I want the largest rectangle while there are many rectangles. After finding the largest rectangle, I want to have the coordinates of this rectangle. By these coordinates, I want to be a part of the original image.The largest rectangle is my car.

I have worked hard and I have searched a lot.Please help if you can. See the picture.
