Color Detection Project
Introduction
• Color detection is a fundamental task in computer
vision and image processing.
• The project aims to develop a system that can
accurately identify and classify colors in images or
videos.
• Importance of Color Detection:
• Used in various fields such as robotics, image
editing, object tracking, etc.
• Enables automation and decision-making based on
color information.
Objectives
a) To identify the color of the given object kept in front of the camera.
b) To represent the color found on the object and generating its
respective RGB color code.
Methodology
Theory:
Color detection model is used to find the respective color, and its’ shade. Color
detection model will be useful for people having disorder of color blindness,
agricultural fields and in medical fields as well.
For the implementation of this technique, we need to have some python libraries:
OpenCV
To use camera and to identify object’s color from that camera in our code.
Pandas
Pandas is a Python library used for working with data sets.
It has functions for analyzing, cleaning, exploring, and manipulating data.
Steps in Color Detection:
1.Image Acquisition:
Obtain digital images or video frames2
2.Preprocessing:
Resize images, remove noise, enhance contrast.
3.Color Space Conversion:
Convert RGB images to HSV color space for better color
representation.
4.Color Thresholding:
Define color ranges and apply thresholding to extract specific
colors.
5.Object Detection:
Identify and outline objects based on detected colors.
Output:
Double click on the window to know the name of the pixel color
Challenges Faced
• Variations in lighting conditions affecting color perception.
• Complex backgrounds or overlapping colors leading to false
detections.
• Addressed challenges by adjusting thresholds, applying
morphological operations, and using machine learning techniques for
fine-tuning.
