How do I merge multiple bounding on the same object as one bounding box around the object? Below is an example. Thanks

Convert the [x y width height] coordinates to start and end coordinates,
[x y x+width-1 y+height-1]
Now take the minimum of all of the left x over all of the boxes to get the left bound, the maximum over all of the right x to get the right bound, the minimum over the top y to get the lower bound, the maximum over the bottom y to get the upper bound.

Please Provide me the full code for multiple bounding box converting into one bounding box.In the below figure i want to merge trash and human bounding box together then count the object and detect human and trash together.

Regardless of merging bounding boxes. The text will be detected when used OCR. I see no text in your image. so it is obvious that function OCR detected no text.
anyways to merge two bounding boxes they should overlap first. Increase the size of bounding boxes, make them overlap and try to merge. change the valuse expansionAmount in your code.
By the way you totally copied the exaple code from matlab. And only use either regionprops or stoke width variation to remove non text region , the code you copied using both. only one method has to opt.

The images were posted by @Nibir Sarker and are probably not the same ones uses by @Saketh Nannaka .

if you are having the binary image as "I7", follow the below code to merge all the regions into common bounding box as below
RegionAll=regionprops(I7,'BoundingBox');
BBall=[];
for jk=1:length(RegionAll)
Box1=RegionAll(jk).BoundingBox;
Box2=[Box1(1) Box1(2) Box1(1)+Box1(3)-1 Box1(2)+Box1(4)-1];
BBall=[BBall ;Box2];
end
mX=min(BBall(:,1));
mY=min(BBall(:,2));
mW=max(BBall(:,3))-mX;
mH=max(BBall(:,4))-mY;
NewBB=[mX mY mW mH];

No loop needed
RegionAll=regionprops(I7,'BoundingBox');
AllBoxes = vertcat(RegionAll.BoundingBox);
xy = [AllBoxes(:,1:2), AllBoxes(:,1:2) + AllBoxes(:,3:4));
startX = min(xy(:,1));
startY = min(xy(:,2));
endX = max(xy(:,3));
endY = max(xy(:,4));
BB = [startX, startY, endX - startX, endY - startY];
