How can I find vertical lines in the image? (Opencv and Python) Total vertical avalanche needs fine

Question

Hi Everyone,

I need mark the vertical lines in the picture and find the number.In the example I have done below, I cannot mark exactly.So I find the number of vertical lines wrong.I should draw the lines straight but I couldn't draw Where could I be wrong ?

the result ı found(Wrong) print(len(contours)) 25 Correct Result = (22)
