You can use bboxOverlapRatio() to get the ratio and then set a threshold of what is acceptable for plotting or not. A better approach might be what are you passing to region props? Are you looking for color, contrast, etc? If you filter your image more before passing it to region props you may get more desirable results (e.g. bwareafilt())
