I'm trying to detect an object using opencv and Visual Studio Ultimate using C++. I'm having problems concerning cv::Mat, I cannot find any example of object detection with that kind of variable but just with IplImage. I tried to use an IplImage code and convert it to Mat, but it didn't work. But i don not want to use IplImage, my first part of code is in Mat and I want to keep using it.
What I'm trying to actually do is to detect the BIGGEST rectangle in the image stored from the cam, after thresholding it.
I have already done the threshold part and it's ok, it works and i can se my object (in white) moving in a black background.
Could someone help me with the tracking part? I have seen on the net some blob filtering solutions but they were way too difficult for me! If you can come up with an easy one it would be better.
thank you!
