Algorithm 1 Color Blob Detection.
Require: Real time RGB image;
     the hue value of the ROI (region of interest);
     the hue section
  • 1:

    While feed new frame do

  • 2:

    if processing then continue

  • 3:

    else

  • 4:

       perform the down sampling step of the Gaussian pyramid construction

  • 5:

       convert the value of RGB into the HSV color space

  • 6:

       get binary image A(1 if the value is included in the hue section and 0 otherwise)

  • 7:

       dilate the binary image A (morphological processing) into image B

  • 8:

       retrieve contours from the binary image B using the algorithm Border Following

  • 9:

       if the area of the region defined by the contour >50 pixels then

  • 10:

         show the contour

  • 11:

       end if

  • 12:

    end if

  • 13:

     process is finished

  • 14:

    end while
