How can we extract objects from a greyscale image?

1 view (last 30 days)
So, i got a grayscale image of a box, which contains some objects.. I need to identify if/ not the box is empty or not....
I tried using the otsu thresholding, but doesn't work properly. is it possible to convert all the other parts to black except the image of interest?

This is the image of bucket which is full. the spatula, etc are the part of interest.

I would recommend background subtraction, if you can get a picture of the empty bucket, especially if everything is taken from a fixed viewpoint (if the viewpoint is not fixed then you might need to do image registration before doing the subtraction.)

What about bwareaopen()
I = imread('example_filled2.jpg');
I1 = I < 40;
I2 = bwareaopen(I1,3e3);
imshow(I2)
What i've got
