orb opencv variable inputs

I am new to opencv and am trying to extract keypoints of a gesture image by ORB algorithm in python interface. The image input is binary and has many curvatures. So ORB gives too many points as keypoints (which are actually not). I am trying to increase the threshold of ORB algorithm so that the unnesessary points dont get detected. I have searched for ORB algorithms and haven't found any use of threshold except for in c++ function description. So my question is what are the input parameters for ORB detection algorithm and what is the actual syntax in python. Thanks in advance.

The python docstring of ORB_create actually contains information about the parameter nfeatures, which is the maximum number of features to return. Could that solve your problem?

After looking at the ORB() function in Opencv C++ description, I realized that the input parameters can be passed into function in Python as nfeatures=200,mask=img etc. (not sure about C++ though).
