Student Competition: Computer Vision Training, Object Detection Using Blob Analysis

Learn to detect objects using blob analysis. Blob analysis will be used as a workflow to introduce the following topics:

• Conversion between color spaces
• Color thresholding
• Morphological operations
• Insert text and shapes in video frames

These are fundamental operations that are useful in almost all computer vision applications.

We’d like to thank the Cedarville University RoboBoat team for providing a video from their vehicle.
