问题
I am trying to detect the outer boundary of the circular object in the images below:








I tried OpenCV's Hough Circle, but the code is not working for every image. I also tried to adjust parameters such as minRadius
and maxRadius
in Hough Circle but its not working on every image.
The aim is to detect the object from the image and crop it.
Expected output:

Source code:
import imutils
import cv2
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
image = cv2.imread("path to the image i have provided")
r = 600.0 / image.shape[1]
dim = (600, int(image.shape[0] * r))
resized = cv2.resize(image, dim, interpolation = cv2.INTER_AREA)
cv2.imwrite("path to were we want to save downscaled image", resized)
image = cv2.imread('path of downscaled image')
image1 = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
image2 = cv2.GaussianBlur(image1, (5, 5), 0)
edged = cv2.Canny(image2, 30, 150)
img = cv2.medianBlur(image2,5)
cimg = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_GRAY2BGR)
circles = cv2.HoughCircles(edged,cv2.HOUGH_GRADIENT,1,20,
param1=50,param2=30,minRadius=200,maxRadius=280)
circles = np.uint16(np.around(circles))
max_circle = max(circles[0,:], key=lambda x:x[2])
# print(max_circle)
# # Create mask
height,width = image1.shape
mask = np.zeros((height,width), np.uint8)
for i in [max_circle]:
cv2.circle(mask,(i[0],i[1]),i[2],(255,255,255),thickness=-1)
masked_data = cv2.bitwise_and(image, image, mask=mask)
_,thresh = cv2.threshold(mask,1,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
# Find Contour
contours = cv2.findContours(thresh,cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)[0]
x,y,w,h = cv2.boundingRect(contours[0])
# Crop masked_data
crop = masked_data[y:y+h,x:x+w]
#Code to close Window
cv2.imshow('OG',image)
cv2.imshow('Cropped ROI',crop)
cv2.imwrite("path to save roi image", crop)

Second Answer: an approach based on color segmentation.
While I was editing the question to improve it's readability and was inserting and resizing all the images from the link you shared to make it easier for everyone to visualize what you are trying to do, it occurred to me that this problem might be a better candidate for an approach based on segmentation by color:








This simpler (but clever) approach assumes that the reel appears pretty much in the same location and has more or less the same dimensions every time:
- To discover the approximate color of the reel in the image, define a list of Regions of Interest (ROIs) to sample pixels from and determine the min and max color of that area in the HSV color space. The location and size of the ROI are values derived from the size of the image. In the images below, you can see the ROIs as draw as blue-ish rectangles:




- Once the min and max HSV colors have been found, a threshold operation with
cv2.inRange()
can be executed to segment the reel:




- Then, iterate though all the contours in the binary image and assume that the largest one represents the reel. Use this contour and draw it in a separate mask to be able to extract the pixels from original image:




- At this stage, it is also possible to compute a bounding box for the contour and extract it's precise location to be able to perform a crop operation later and completely isolate the reel in the image:




This approach works for EVERY image shared on the question.

First answer: an approach based on pre-processing the image and executing an adaptiveThreshold operation.
There might be other ways of solving this problem that are not based on Hough Circles. Here is the result of an approach that is not:


- Preprocess the image! Decreasing the size of the image and executing a blur helps with segmentation:

- The segmentation method uses a
cv2.adaptiveThreshold()
to create a binary image that preserves the most important objects: the center of the reel and the external edge of the reel. This is an important step since we are only interested in what exists between these two objects. However, life is not perfect and neither is this segmentation. The shadow of reel on the table became part of the binary objects detected. Also, the outer edge is not fully connected as you can see on the resulting image on the right (look at the top left of the circumference):


- To join broken segments, a morphological operation can be executed:

- Finally, the entire reel area can be exposed by iterating through the contours of the image above and discarding those whose area is larger than what is expected for a reel. The resulting binary image (on the left) can then be used as a mask to identify the reel location on the original image:


Keep in mind that I'm not trying to find an universal solution for your problem. I'm merely showing that there might be other solutions that don't depend on Hough Circles.
Also, this code might need some adjustments to work on a larger number of cases.
Source code:
import cv2
import numpy as np
import sys
img = cv2.imread("test_images/reel.jpg")
if (img is None):
print('!!! Failed imread')
sys.exit(-1)
# create output image
output_img = img.copy()
# 1. Preprocess the image: downscale to speed up processing and execute a blur
SCALE_FACTOR = 0.5
smaller_img = cv2.resize(img, dsize=(0, 0), fx=SCALE_FACTOR, fy=SCALE_FACTOR)
blur_img = cv2.medianBlur(smaller_img, 9)
cv2.imwrite('reel1_blur_img.png', blur_img)
# 2. Segment the image to identify the 2 most important contours: the center of the reel and the outter edge
gray_img = cv2.cvtColor(blur_img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
img_bin = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(gray_img, 255, cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV, 19, 4)
cv2.imwrite('reel2_img_bin.png', img_bin)
green_mask = np.zeros((img_bin.shape[0], img_bin.shape[1]), np.uint8)
#green_mask = cv2.cvtColor(img_bin, cv2.COLOR_GRAY2RGB) # debug
contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(img_bin, cv2.RETR_LIST, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
for contourIdx, cnt in enumerate(contours):
x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(cnt)
area = cv2.contourArea(contours[contourIdx])
#print('contourIdx=', contourIdx, 'w=', w, 'h=', h, 'area=', area)
# filter out tiny segments
if (area < 5000):
#cv2.fillPoly(green_mask, pts=[cnt], color=(0, 0, 255)) # red
continue
# draw green contour (filled)
#cv2.fillPoly(green_mask, pts=[cnt], color=(0, 255, 0)) # green

# 3. Fix mask: join segments nearby

contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(green_mask, cv2.RETR_LIST, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
for contourIdx, cnt in enumerate(contours):
x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(cnt)
area = cv2.contourArea(contours[contourIdx])
print('contourIdx=', contourIdx, 'w=', w, 'h=', h, 'area=', area)
# filter out smaller segments
if (area > 110000):
#cv2.fillPoly(reel_mask, pts=[cnt], color=(0, 0, 255)) # red
continue
# draw green contour (filled)
#cv2.fillPoly(reel_mask, pts=[cnt], color=(0, 255, 0)) # green

# debug:
#cv2.imshow('reel_mask', reel_mask)
#cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.imshow('reel_mask', reel_mask)
cv2.imwrite('reel4_reel_mask.png', reel_mask)
# 5. Draw the reel area on the original image
contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(reel_mask, cv2.RETR_LIST, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
for contourIdx, cnt in enumerate(contours):
centers, radius = cv2.minEnclosingCircle(cnt)
# rescale these values back to the original image size
centers_orig = (centers[0] // SCALE_FACTOR, centers[1] // SCALE_FACTOR)
radius_orig = radius // SCALE_FACTOR
print('centers=', centers_orig, 'radius=', radius_orig)
cv2.circle(output_img, (int(centers_orig[0]), int(centers_orig[1])), int(radius_orig), (128,0,255), 5) # magenta
cv2.imshow('output_img', output_img)
cv2.imwrite('reel5_output.png', output_img)
# display just the pixels from the original image
larger_reel_mask = cv2.resize(reel_mask, (int(img.shape[1]), int(img.shape[0])))
output_reel_img = cv2.bitwise_and(img, img, mask=larger_reel_mask)
cv2.imshow('output_reel_img', output_reel_img)
cv2.imwrite('reel5_output_reel.png', output_reel_img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
At this point, its possible to use larger_reel_mask
and compute a minimal enclosing circle, draw it over this mask to make it a little bit more round and allow us to retrieve the area of the reel more accurately:

But the 4 lines of code that achieve this improvement I leave as an exercise for the reader.
