Yes, exactly. FIND_BOUNDARY was developed as a method
for getting quantitative information about "blobs".
(And because I got a strange and inexplicable
fascination with chain-code algorithms one morning.)
If you have more than one blob, use LABEL_REGION
to identify them and process them one by one. I think
this is explained in the documentation for FIND_BOUNDARY.
(If not, it will be, since you are not the first to ask
about this.)

Sounds like a winner to me. :-)

Cheers,

P.S. You are checking to be sure you are not
leaking memory, right?
