INTRODUCTION
What is a SENSOR ? Reflective Color Sensing Digital Signal Processing

PRINCIPLES OF THE SENSOR OPERATION

Color Sensor Measure the Object Properties to

determine its Color.

Two types Color Sensors
1. 2.

Based on Recording & Processing object with a camera Reflective Color Sensor

SENSOR IMPLEMENTATION
Two Parts Hardware & Software
Hardware Part - Using Analog Electronics, Circuits For

Driving Led's, Amplification, Filtration

Software Part Receives Data from analog part via

Sound Card.
It Converts analog signal into Digital signal.

ELECTRONICS OF PROPOSED SENSOR

 Divided in to two blocks

Transmitting Electronics 2. Receiving electronics

1.

T E LED Driver circuits ,RGB LED. RE - PT,TIA,AMP &Filter,pc.

3 COLORS Emitted at RED 1.3 kHz GREEN 5.7 kHz BLUE 3.2 kHz
Higher Harmonics may cause error due to

Overlapping with Fundamental frequency. To solve this Taking the above mentioned frequencies.

SOFTWARE FOR COLOR MEASUREMENT

LabVIEW Software Package Communicates with hardware part via Sound card.

Advantage of this method-No need of an Additional

Hardware like Microcontroller. Signal Received in PC is Decomposed into R,G,B Components using 3 Software Bandpass Filters

 Received Signal are Converted by using LabVIEW

Function RGB to color.

RGB Color Table of LabVIEW Software is Compared

with Signal Values & Object color is Found.

CONCLUSION
Analog Signals brought into the Computer via Sound

Card are Converted to RGB colors of Object.

Sensor Used here is Simple one. More Complicated Sensors can also be used.
