I would expect you want to know the number of pixels in that blob. If that is the case, than you should use regionprops.

There is a note in the regionprops doc where it describes the area property: "Actual number of pixels in the region, returned as a scalar. (This value might differ slightly from the value returned by bwarea, which weights different patterns of pixels differently.)"
