cv.jit.label: trouble with blob chosen by size rank

Erik Mijwaard's icon

Dear list,

I'd like to track the largest blob (in a room using a camera).
Therefore I am exploring the cv.jit objects and I think cv.jit.label is the one I am looking for.

The problem I run into is that using it with charmode 1 and mode 1 I expected to see only the largest blob labelled 1. But instead I get the most top/left one. The example below is a stripped down version of the help-file and two moving circles, one bigger than the other.

I searched the list and read the help-files but it still don't get it, what am I missing here?

Any help is much appreciated.
Best regards, Erik

running cv.jit_1.5_jit_1.6_OSX-Intel on a MBP with latest Max+Jitter
