I have written a basic code to detect hand drawn shapes i.e. drawn on paper and captured with a camera.[p1.png] and this is the output that i am getting.(/upfiles/14671047931550092.png)(/upfiles/14671046845890363.png)

cv2.imshow('gray image',imgray)

ret,thresh = cv2.threshold(imgray,80,255,0)
cv2.imshow('thresh image',thresh)
cv2.waitKey()
image, contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh,cv2.RETR_TREE,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
cv2.imshow('cont image',image)
cv2.waitKey()

for cnt in contours:
