python求形心,轮廓的质心是否始终是其几何中心？ （OpenCV，Python）

I am working with OpenCV+Python and I want to find the geometrical centre of the following contour:

The OpenCV documentation suggests the following to find the centroid of a contour:

import numpy as np

import cv2 as cv

img = cv.imread('star.jpg',0)

ret,thresh = cv.threshold(img,127,255,0)

im2,contours,hierarchy = cv.findContours(thresh, 1, 2)

cnt = contours[0]

M = cv.moments(cnt)

print( M )

#Centroid

cx = int(M['m10']/M['m00'])

cy = int(M['m01']/M['m00'])

If I am right, according to this formula the centroid is calculated as the mean (or the average?) of all the points of the contour.

However, if for example fewer points are detected at the upper part of the contour than at the lower part of the contour then the centroid will be a bit higher than the actual geometrical centre of the (fully detected) contour.

Am I right?

If so, then is it better to calculate the average of the extreme points of the contour to find the geometrical centre of the contour and in this way to not depend at all on if the points of the contour are uniformly detected?

解决方案Am I right?

No. The OpenCV function moments() uses Green's theorem as mentioned in the OpenCV moments() docs. Green's theorem is indeed a correct way to find the center of mass of a shape. Green's theorem specifically relates integrals about some shape to integrals about the shape's border. As such, it doesn't at all matter how many points define the border or not.

I say center of mass specifically, because you can pass in a single-channel image array into moments() as well to compute the moments and not just a point array. However for an image array, if the array is just binary, then the center of mass is the centroid. And with an array of points (from your contours), there is no array to tell the pixel values inside, so the result is similarly still the centroid.
