Awesome program!!!

😊

Very cool! Thanks for the contribution!

Very awesome, thanks!

It looks neat, but it's too bad there aren't better comments for people just skimming

When I run this code Line 21 has reported an error that too many values to unpack

you should increase one parameter contour,h,hierarchi @Angusbob

for opencv 3 or greater
