CvInvoke.MinAreaRect(contour) returns the wrong angle

I have a contour of a number plate and I want to check if it's tilted or not. I used CvInvoke.MinAreaRect(contour) but it always returns the angle == -90 even when the plate is obviously tilted, you can see the contour I draw in the picture below.



return values



contour draw



original image



Does anyone know what happened and solution for my problem?



Here is the code:



Image<Gray, byte> gray = new Image<Gray, byte>("2.PNG");
Image<Gray, byte> adaptive_threshold_img = gray.ThresholdAdaptive(new Gray(255), AdaptiveThresholdType.GaussianC, ThresholdType.BinaryInv, 11, new Gray(2));

VectorOfVectorOfPoint contours = new VectorOfVectorOfPoint();
Mat hier = new Mat();
CvInvoke.FindContours(adaptive_threshold_img, contours, hier, RetrType.Tree, ChainApproxMethod.ChainApproxSimple);

double max_area = 0;
VectorOfPoint max_contour = new VectorOfPoint();

for (int i = 0; i < contours.Size; i++)
{
double temp = CvInvoke.ContourArea(contours[i]);
if (temp > max_area)
{
max_area = temp;
max_contour = contours[i];
}
}

VectorOfVectorOfPoint contour_to_draw = new VectorOfVectorOfPoint(max_contour);
CvInvoke.DrawContours(gray, contour_to_draw, 0, new MCvScalar(255), 2);

CvInvoke.Imshow("plate", gray);

RotatedRect plate_feature = CvInvoke.MinAreaRect(max_contour);

CvInvoke.WaitKey();
CvInvoke.DestroyAllWindows();

    Please provide us with an Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example of your code. It's impossible to say whether there's a problem in EmguCV (less likely) or your code (more likely).

Try CvInvoke.threshold() instead of gray.ThresholdAdaptive(). Set proper threshold and you'll get better contour than before.
