Real-time color detection with ESP32-CAM

Real-time color detection is a popular application in computer vision, where a program identifies and processes colors in a live video feed. This can be achieved using Python and the OpenCV library, which provides tools for video capture, image processing, and color manipulation. Below is a detailed explanation of how to implement real-time color detection.

Applications

Object Tracking: Follow colored objects (e.g., red ball tracking).

Robotics: Guide robots based on detected colors.

Industrial Automation: Identify specific colored items on a conveyor belt.

Interactive Applications: Build AR effects triggered by specific colors.

Real-time color detection using an ESP32-CAM involves programming the module to capture video frames, process them to detect a specific color, and send the results to a client, such as a web browser or a serial monitor.

In this context, we have produced a vision system that can detect colors in real time and light the LEDs according to the colors detected.

The colors detected by this system are: red, blue, green and yellow.

This system consists of an ESP32CAM card computer.
