Image segmentation python opencv

Question

I want to ask for some advice about the procedure that I should implement for image segmentation working with opencv in python.

I have this kind of image and my purpose is to detect the white fiber like here

Does anyone have a proposition of the steps of image processing that I should do?

Answer 1

Since I can notice that object's color is different than the background, I found this guide helpful. The concept is the following: 1.apply RGB filters to your image, 2.grab contours using OpenCV, then 3.apply some handcraft conditions to them so as to fit your desired output, and finally 4.produce the box.

If all of your images share the same color patterns, this should work.. If not, it will prove noisy..
