Detecting blobs on image with OpenCV

I want to get some descriptors for each white area on image to filter that areas and operate with them separately. How can I do it?

I have read How to use OpenCV SimpleBlobDetector and http://www.learnopencv.com/blob-detection-using-opencv-python-c/ but still can't get any result with my simple image.

enter image description here

Here is my code in python

img = cv2.imread("map.jpg", cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
params = cv2.SimpleBlobDetector_Params()
params.blobColor = 255
params.filterByColor = True
params.minArea = 16
params.filterByArea = True
detector = cv2.SimpleBlobDetector_create(params)
keypoints = detector.detect(255 - img)
len(keypoints)
# 0

OpenCV 3.1.0

Image is grayscaled.

I was having the same problem. I had to remove the fiterbyarea parameter:

params.filterByArea = False

My goal could be reached with sklearn.measure.label. This function returns a numpy array with the same shape and labels for each connected area.

But anyway it is still not clear why SimpleBlobDetector from OpenCV doesn't work.
