In a binary image a white blob could contain one or more holes or black blobs. Those block blobs in turn could contain one or more white blobs and so on. Any blob that is surrounded by another blob, of the opposite color, is considered to be the child of the surrounding blob. This gives […]

For a binary image that contains multiple blobs we must first transform it using connectivity analysis or region labeling. Then we can describe each of the blobs in the scene we first need to transform the image using connectivity analysis. Each of the blobs can then be described in terms of its area, centroid position, […]

Let’s recap the important points from the topics we have covered about image features, blobs, connectivity analysis, and blob parameters such as centroid position, area, bounding box, moments, equivalent ellipse, and perimeter.

When it comes to describing a blob we can do more than just area, centroid position and bounding box. By looking at second order moments we can compute an ellipse that has the same moments of inertia as the blob, and we can use its aspect ratio and orientation to describe the shape and orientation […]

We use MATLAB and some Toolbox functions to find tomatoes on a bush. We convert the color image to chromaticity coordinates, select the pixels that belong to the tomatoes and the perform blob analysis to find the location of the tomatoes.

We can also describe a blob by its contour or perimeter. Let’s look at how we determine the length of a blob‘s perimeter using crack code and chain code. We can use the perimeter length to determine another scale and invariant shape parameter called circularity which indicates how compact, or circle-like, the blob is.

Visual servoing is concerned with the motion of points in the world. How can we reliably detect such points using computer vision techniques.

If we look at a binary image we can easily see distinct regions, that is, sets of pixels the same color as their neighbours. We call these blobs and they’re an important way of achieving an object rather than pixel view of the scene. We can describe these blobs by their area, centroid position, bounding […]
