hello guys ,

this is how i am getting x and y from the blob, can anyone tell me how can i convert these posX and posY values in meters or centimeters ??

//Calculate the moments of the thresholded image
cv:: Moments oMoments = moments(img_mask);

double dM01 = oMoments.m01;
double dM10 = oMoments.m10;
double dArea = oMoments.m00;


int posX = dM10 / dArea;
int posY = dM01 / dArea;


std::cout<<"posx:"<<posX<<"posy:"<<posY<<std::endl;

please help !!

thanks all;

Without additional information, this is simply not possible. A pixel corresponds to a ray from an object to the camera center and the position of the object on this ray is not known. Do you have any additional information? Like the distance of the object to the camera? Do you have the intrinsic calibration values for the camera?

no i dont have it now,, i will post soon my camera calibration values though,,

The only way to get the world coordinates of an object with a monocular camera is if you know the intrinsic parameters of the camera, you know the geometry of the object and you can detect at least 3 known points of the object in the image.
