Real-time color detection with Micro:bit and Webcam

Real-time color detection is a process in which colors are identified and recognized instantaneously from live video or image streams, typically captured by a camera or sensor. It involves analyzing each frame of the live input, processing the image data, and determining the color(s) present in specific areas of interest or across the entire frame without significant delay.

Key Characteristics of Real-Time Color Detection:

Live Processing: The detection happens as the data (e.g., video frames) is being captured.

Color Identification: Colors are identified based on predefined models, like RGB, HSV, or LAB color spaces.

Speed: The system processes multiple frames per second to ensure the output is perceived as real-time.

Applications:

Object detection and tracking (e.g., detecting red cars, blue shirts).

Robotics and automation (e.g., sorting objects by color).

Augmented Reality (e.g., color-based overlays).

Quality control in industries (e.g., identifying defective products by color).

Assistive technologies (e.g., color recognition for visually impaired users).

Real-time color detection using Micro:bit, Webcam, and Servo Motor is a project where a webcam captures live video to detect specific colors.

How It Works:

1- Webcam: Captures the real-time video feed.

2- Color Detection: The video feed is processed (using software like Python and OpenCV) to detect specific colors based on predefined ranges in a color space like HSV.

3- Micro:bit: Acts as a controller that receives signals from the computer or directly interprets data (if integrated with sensors).
