2012-07-18 12:34:34 -0600 asked a question Tricky image segmentation in Python

I'm trying to segment a live video feed in real time. The frames look much like this: http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9531/depthimg2.jpg In particular, I need to extract pieces like the smaller box in the center-right of the frame.

The problem is that the background isn't completely black. I've been trying to use FindContours, but it has a hard time because it treats the image as binary. Is there some sort of blob detection that handles multiple layers?
