Hello, I'm working with OpenCv on Android and have a problem with the findContours function because it gives me the border of the image.

Here is an example (source image will always be a thresholded image) :

As you can see, I do have the contour of the blob, but I don't want to get the contour of the picture...

Actually, I need to find the biggest blob, so what I do is to find every contour, and then find the one with the biggest area, but to do this, I have to save the biggest area (which will be the contour of the image) and the second biggest (which will be the true biggest blob)... I think it's pretty ugly and a waste...

Is it a normal behaviour ? And Is there a way of getting rid of this ?

EDIT : here is the code i'm using using

Mat eyeMat = faceMat.submat(eyesArray[j]); //This is a gray image Imgproc.GaussianBlur(eyeMat, eyeMat, new Size(9, 9), 2, 2); Imgproc.threshold(eyeMat, eyeMat, 30, 255, Imgproc.THRESH_BINARY);

List<matofpoint> contours = new ArrayList<matofpoint>(); Mat hierarchy = new Mat(); Imgproc.findContours(eyeMat, contours, hierarchy, Imgproc.RETR_LIST, Imgproc.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE);
