Count the number of "C" in the picture by column

2

you can use opencv_contrib/edge_drawing.py at 4.5.2 · opencv/opencv_contrib · GitHub

and modify the code to count C’s using ellipses. sorting ellipses by their centers will help to find counts on each column ( hope you will implement it )

here is a naivy starter code

This example illustrates how to use cv.ximgproc.EdgeDrawing class.
Usage:
    ed.py [<image_name>]
    image argument defaults to board.jpg
