SimpleCV Object (White Ball) tracker - 15 lines of code

[IDreamInCode]

This was a great help getting me started on my first SimpleCV project. I made a laser pointer follower that works really well. Thanks for the guide.

simplicity brought 10 years into the future to encode a recognition of duh face.

Squinting at the code for your long example, it looks like you loop segmentation and draw a circle around a blob. This is *detection* not *tracking*. In tracking you use the detected position of the blob/feature/thing to help search in the next frame; in this example you don't use that data.

Haha, computer geeks like us, not having a baseball lying around. Did not see that one coming. Good vid. Thanx.

Hello could You add some line of code for count how many times the ball has crossed the center or some vertical line? Best wishes.

Thanks for this! hope to see more videos related to simpleCV from you!

PLEASE MAKE MORE PROJECTS LIKE THIS!!! AND PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL ABOUT HOW TO INSTALL SIMPLECV. IT IS NONEXISTENT EVERYWHERE

Excellent man! What webcam model did u use?

Hi can someone help me pls. I have a project but i should detect only the Red balls. How can i detect that

[cjrpascual]

Can you make a tutorial on how to detect bottles ??

[inspiration_infusion]

Hi, can you show me the way, how can I show the coordinates of the center of the ball detection (x, y)... Thanks alot

[CraigHollabaugh]

excellent and simple description. Thanks!

[nusratlima]

you should make more videos, this stuff is cool!

Does it possible to upload this code on Arduino?

[robdelaney]

Hey dude, nice tutorial. I have this code running on my raspberry pi but the image window is displaying real small, like 60px squared, any idea what could cause that?

When i upload this after downloading python and simple cv i get an extremely slow framerate. and my simplecv wont open... only python idle opens. any ideas? thanx for the code btw

I need object detection thats a bit more ambiguous. Sigh, I need a way to detect an object, any object. How do I make my own haar features? I want to be able to train a program to detect the background and then everything else will be an object, maybe use blobs for texture differentiation incase green on green etc...
idk, can't wait to learn it all.
respect man,
peace out

I get a black screen, how can it solve?

[aronmotta]

Just a quick question. Do you know if you can obtain x, y, z coordinates of that circle? Im working on a project right now that i want to get 3D coordinates of an object.

Excelent video man! But I have a problem: when I start the program the video is not showed, and i have a error : video system not initialized. Do you have any solution?
