Is there is a good library in opencv for blob handling?

Question

Is it better to implement blob(connected component) handling manually in openCV or are there any good libraries for the same? I found cvblob and cvBlobsLib? Are these libraries used on a standard scale?

I also looked into this and decided in the end to write my own CCL routine. It seems like a serious omission from OpenCV and no doubt a lot of people are "reinventing the wheel" as a result. Note however that you may be able to use findContours, depending on your exact requirements - see this question.

You should take a look at the new opencvblobslib. It has great features like multi core support.
