Fill the outside of contours OpenCV

问题

I am trying to color in black the outside region of a contours using openCV and python language. Here is my code :

contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(copy.deepcopy(img_copy),cv2.RETR_TREE,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
areas = [cv2.contourArea(c) for c in contours]
max_index = np.argmax(areas)
cnt=contours[max_index]
# how to fill of black the outside of the contours cnt please? `

Here's how you can fill an image with black color outside of a set of contours:

import cv2
import numpy
img = cv2.imread("zebra.jpg")
stencil = numpy.zeros(img.shape).astype(img.dtype)
contours = [numpy.array([[100, 180], [200, 280], [200, 180]]), numpy.array([[280, 70], [12, 20], [80, 150]])]
color = [255, 255, 255]
cv2.fillPoly(stencil, contours, color)
result = cv2.bitwise_and(img, stencil)
cv2.imwrite("result.jpg", result)
