OpenCV Bounding Box

Question

I am working on software using OpenCV in C++ environment. The objective is to detect a boxing glove and draw a bounding box around gloves contours.

Answer 1

Before finding the contours you should apply morphological filter like erode and dilate. After that, you can find the contours and leave out the small ones by calculating its size, or the with and height of the bounding box. Finally you can eliminate those that are inside an other contour using the hierarchy.
