Unfortunately colorspace approach does not work as I have multiple images with different colors. None of the methods seems to be perfect in isolating the object of interest. I can share the images. Appreciate if further advice can be provided on the code and the approach. I can share more images if required.

Vintez. Thanks for your reply. I will try the Gaussian Blur effect for noise removal. I also want advice on whether this is the best method to detect such object in the image. What about colorspace segmentation approach

I am currently working on a python script to extract specific rectangular feature from an image that has multiple objects.

I would like to extract each object individually as seen below. The problem I am having is that my code works onlly on clear images with no background noise and high resolution. The image on the right does not get detected at all for some reason as its noisier, the edges are rough and it's lower resolution image.

Appreciate any help I can get with this.

   images[n] = cv2.imread( os.path.join(mypath,onlyfiles[n]) )
