countNonZero isn't detecting filled bubble and returning big value [closed]
I'm working on a bubble sheet detection program in android. My program works but I have a problem detecting the first filled bubble.
- ⚪⚫⚪⚪⚪ >> undetected and return big value
- ⚫⚪⚪⚪⚪ >> detected
- ⚪⚪⚫⚪⚪ >> detected
- ⚪⚫⚪⚪⚪ >> detected
- ⚪⚪⚫⚪⚪ >> detected
The program itself detects all bubbles inside the paper, but it can't detect the filled bubble in the first number. When I tried printing the countNonZero, I realized that when compared to other numbers, the first one return a very big value.
I/System.out: 1. countNonZero: 766558
I/System.out: 2. countNonZero: 364
I/System.out: 3. countNonZero: 378
I/System.out: 4. countNonZero: 378
I/System.out: 5. countNonZero: 380
And this is the code:
for (int i = 0; i < bubbles.size(); i += options.length) {
List<MatOfPoint> rows = bubbles.subList(i, i + options.length);
int[][] filled = new int[rows.size()][5];
//Loop over the sorted contours
for (int j = 0; j < rows.size(); j++) {
MatOfPoint col = rows.get(j);
List<MatOfPoint> list = Arrays.asList(col);
//Construct a mask that reveals only the current "bubble" for the question
Mat mask = new Mat(nThresh.size(), CV_8UC1);
Imgproc.drawContours(mask.submat(rect), list, -1, new Scalar(255, 0, 0), -1);
//Apply the mask to the thresholded image, then count the number of non-zero pixels in the bubble area.
Mat conjuction = new Mat(nThresh.size(), CV_8UC1);
Core.bitwise_and(nThresh, mask, conjuction); //countNonZero counts black pixel in the mask
int countNonZero = Core.countNonZero(conjuction);
System.out.println("recognizeAnswers > " + i + ":" + j + " > countNonZero: " + countNonZero);
Any ideas on this?
