I have a supervisor who wants to use only cvBlob to find connected components.
How can I prove to him that findContours can do the same? I already showed him c++ and matlab codes to prove my “theory” but he is not convinced yet.
Is there any reference from OpenCV developer that findContours can find blobs indeed?
Ask your supervisor exactly why he prefers to use cvBlob.
Some people have reported that cvBlob is faster than findContours, but certainly findContours has the advantage of be the standard solution and have the support of a big community (the support of cvBlob at the moment is very bad, sorry), and much more general functionality than cvBlob (which is more target specific).
When your supervisor give an answer (if he can) then you could rebate it.
I’m the developer of cvBlob, by the way.
