Color Detection: Bhai Parmanand Institute of Business Studies

This document is a project proposal for a color detection application. It will allow users to automatically detect the name of a color by clicking on it using RGB color values from a dataset mapped to color names. The application aims to mimic how humans recognize color through light receptors and the brain. It faces challenges detecting overlapping colors of different objects but aims to segment objects by color for uses in computer vision, object tracking, and more.

Introduction:

In this color detection Python project, we are going to build an application


through which you can automatically get the name of the color by clicking on
them. So, for this, we will have a data file that contains the color name and its
values. Then we will calculate the distance from each color and find the
shortest one. Color detection is the process of detecting the name of any color.
Simple isn’t it? Well, for humans this is an extremely easy task but for
computers, it is not straightforward. Human eyes and brains work together to
translate light into color. Light receptors that are present in our eyes transmit
the signal to the brain. Our brain then recognizes the color. Since childhood,
we have mapped certain lights with their color names. We will be using the
somewhat same strategy to detect color names.

User guide:
Colors are made up of 3 primary colors; red, green, and blue. In computers,
we define each color value within a range of 0 to 255. So in how many ways
we can define a color? The answer is 256*256*256 = 16,581,375. There are
approximately 16.5 million different ways to represent a color. In our dataset,
we need to map each color’s values with their corresponding names. But don’t
worry, we don’t need to map all the values. We will be using a dataset that
contains RGB values with their corresponding names. The CSV file for our
dataset has been taken from this link: https://github.com/codebrainz/color-
names/blob/master/output/colors.csv
Scope:
1. Computer vision- Color detection is the basic and important step for
proceeding in computer vision. Some special type of spectacles can be made
which will make use of computer vision (image processing) along with neural
networks to provide an artificial vision to blind people.
2. Spy robots- The spy robots are made to identify objects in the place where
they are launched. Object’s shape, size, color, orientation is of importance to
robot.
3. Object Segregation- An object can be segregated (separated) on the basis of
its color.
4. Object Tracking- A moving object can be tracked on the basis of its color.

Challenges:
The main purpose is to detect colors in a given sample image. The most
challenging part in this task was to determine color when two figures
overlapped. Small figures inside the big figures was quite challenging. First,
we detected small contours, its shapes and then the bigger contour and its
shape. We then moved to detect its colors.
