hello,

I am very new to opencv, I want to measure the height of the coloras in attached figure there is pipette with blood and i want to measure the level of blood in unit like mm. i try with contour but still not get any success to measure the volume. is there any suggestion or code please help me. i tryed also (http://answers.opencv.org/question/15...) but i am getting error.

#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;


int main(int argc, char** argv) {
VideoCapture stream1(0);   //0 is the id of video device.0 if you have only one camera.

stream1.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 640);
stream1.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 480);
int thresh = 100; int max_thresh = 255; RNG rng(12345);

if (!stream1.isOpened()) { 
//check if video device has been initialised
cout << "cannot open camera";
}

//unconditional loop
while (true) {
Mat cameraFrame;
Mat src_gray;
Mat threshold_output;
vector<vector<Point> > contours;
vector<Vec4i> hierarchy;

cvtColor( cameraFrame,src_gray, CV_BGR2GRAY ); // produces out2, a one-channel image (CV_8UC1)
    blur( src_gray, src_gray, Size(5,5) );

    threshold( src_gray, threshold_output, 150, 200, CV_THRESH_BINARY_INV);

    findContours( threshold_output, contours, hierarchy,CV_RETR_EXTERNAL, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE, Point(0, 0) );

    /// Find the rotated rectangles
    vector<RotatedRect> minRect( contours.size() );
for( int i = 0; i < contours.size(); i++ ) 
{ minRect[i] = minAreaRect( Mat(contours[i]) ); }

/// Draw contours + rotated rects + ellipses
Mat drawing = Mat::zeros( threshold_output.size(), CV_8UC3 );
for( int i = 0; i < contours.size(); i++ )
{ Scalar color = Scalar( rng.uniform(0,0), rng.uniform(0,0), rng.uniform(250,250) ); // contour drawContours( drawing, contours, i, color, 1, 8, vector<vec4i>(), 0, Point() ); // rotated rectangle    
    Point2f rect_points[4]; minRect[i].points( rect_points );

   for(int j = 0; j < 4; j++ )

May you can use surface area if you camera is always at same position relative to object.

I find that black surface is 8205 pixels (you must have this value [http://docs.opencv.org/3.0-beta/modul...]) . After you can make a table surface<-> height

Could you be a bit more specific? What does happen? What should happen?

Thank you for your suggestions, my camera position is fixed, and I have to detect 3 colors at a same time. and i have to measure its level means width.

In your image you haven't got any background so I think you can work with histogram. Histogram integration around your three color will give you region surface. An another idea is to use PCA to find good axis to convert your color image in grayscale instead of cvtColor

Hi,Why not use blob or find bounding?????

hi there,

i want to do detection using usb camera and the problem is that camera frame is not working fine means i can not get continue frame, i tried following code to detect the contour and draw rectangle around it.

why did you return back to the old C unsupported api?

theodore gravatar imagetheodore ( 2015-04-07 05:58:33 -0600 )edit

because capturing video from camera is working some time good with it, so i think to go with it.. what is your suggestion for this, I am new so I have no clear idea about it.

Thank you very much for your reply.

because capturing video from camera is working some time good with it.... that's a really bad excuse. I would definitely recommend you to use the new C++ api.

thank you for comment. i will try with it. can you suggest me any example code for it to follow.
