I want to remove the texts and other unwanted small regions(+ – inside the circle) of a binary image for further processing, as shown in the first image,this is the thing i want(remove all the text inside and outside the big wiring loop.

For this preprocessing, i tried this code

import cv2
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import os
from google.colab import drive

# Mount Google Drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')

def preprocess_image(image_path, target_size=(720, 1080)):
    # Load the image
    image = cv2.imread(image_path)

    # Resize image
    resized_image = cv2.resize(image, target_size)

    # Apply Gaussian Blur to remove noise
    blurred_image = cv2.GaussianBlur(resized_image, (9, 9), 0)

    # Convert to grayscale
    gray_image = cv2.cvtColor(blurred_image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    # Thresholding and contour detection to remove small regions
    _, thresh = cv2.threshold(gray_image, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV + cv2.THRESH_OTSU)
    contours, _ = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)

    for contour in contours:
        area = cv2.contourArea(contour)
        if area < 100000:  # Adjust this value to remove smaller regions
            cv2.drawContours(thresh, [contour], -1, 0, -1)

    # Convert to binary image
    binary_image = cv2.threshold(thresh, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)[1]

    return resized_image, binary_image

def main():
    # Directory containing images
    folder_path = '/content/drive/My Drive/project/dataset'

    # Get all image paths in the directory
    image_paths = [os.path.join(folder_path, f) for f in os.listdir(folder_path) if f.endswith('.jpg')]

    # Iterate through each image
    for image_path in image_paths:
        # Preprocess the image
        original_image, processed_image = preprocess_image(image_path)

        # Display original and processed images side by side
        fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12, 6))
        axes[0].imshow(cv2.cvtColor(original_image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB))
        axes[0].set_title('Original Image')
        axes[0].axis('off')
        axes[1].imshow(processed_image, cmap='gray')
        axes[1].set_title('Processed Image')
        axes[1].axis('off')
        plt.tight_layout()
        plt.show()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

this code is for 50 images inside my drive. Its work very well for the outside texts of the wiring loop as shown in the below imageOutput for my code
But i can’t solve the issue with inside the wring loop. Such as i want to remove the 2 ohm text inside the main wring loop. As a beginner with OpenCV how can i achieve this.
