I have retrieved a contour from an image and want to specifically work on the pixels in the contour. I need to find the sum (not area) of the pixel values in the contour. OpenCV only supports rectangle shaped ROI, so I have no idea how to do this. cvSum also only accepts complete images and doesn't have a mask option, so I am a bit lost on how to proceed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find the sum of the values of pixels in a specific contour?

To draw the contours, cv. drawContours function is used. It can also be used to draw any shape provided you have its boundary points. Its first argument is source image, second argument is the contours which should be passed as a Python list, third argument is index of contours (useful when drawing individual contour.
When we join all the points on the boundary of an object, we get a contour. Typically, a specific contour refers to boundary pixels that have the same color and intensity. OpenCV makes it really easy to find and draw contours in images. It provides two simple functions: findContours()
First get all of your contours. Use this information to create a binary image with the white parts being the contour's outline and area. Perform an AND operation on the two images. The result will be the contours and area on a black background. Then just sum all of the pixels in this image.
