Python OpenCV Box2D

Question

I am trying to call OpenCV function MinAreaRect2 from within python. I use OpenCV 2.4.2 with python 2.7 and numpy 1.6. I went this far :

import cv

def nda2ipl(a         


        

Answer 1

As stated in the documentation to which you linked, MinAreaRect2 returns a Box2D object:

A CvBox2D object is defined by its center, size and angle, as you correctly assumed, as described here.

Generally speaking, the documentation of the Python wrapper is rather poor. Your best bet is to refer to the C++ documentation and to read the source code.
