As stated in the title, i'm trying to draw the oriented minimum bounding box of a blob through the use of findContours() and minAreaRect(). The problem is the following exception is thrown at runtime:
OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (points.checkVector(2) >= 0 && (points.depth() == CV_32F || points.depth() == CV_32S)) in cv::minAreaRect, file C:\buildslave64\win64_amdocl\2_4_PackSlave-win32-vc11-shared\opencv\modules\imgproc\src\contours.cpp, line 1913
My code is as follows:
// Drawing oriented MBB
vector<vector<Point> > contours;
vector<Vec4i> hierarchy;
findContours(blobs , contours, hierarchy, CV_RETR_TREE, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE, Point(0,0));
RotatedRect minRect = minAreaRect(blobs);
Point2f vertices[4];
minRect.points(vertices);
for (int v = 0; v < 4; v++)
line(blobs[b], vertices[v], vertices[(v+1)%4], Scalar(130));
The exception is thrown by the minAreaRect() function. The image on which i'm working is well initialized, since I saved it to file just before the code above, getting this result:
Anyone has an idea of what the problem could be?
Ps: I'm using openCV 2.4.11 on Visual Studio 2012, Windows 10 machine
