What's the purpose of this? Color ball tracking in scenes with simple, mono color backgrounds is child's play

;-) try it yourself, it's not as easy as it looks, especially when you expect 30fps and have to deal with occlusion, shadows, shading, color bleeding, etc.

this is awesome. I'm doing detection of coloured snooker balls for a project. Any chance you could send me source code?

@Krb68691 he has the ring for comparing purposes. e only tracks balls of color tha have the size of the ring.

[Krb68691]

@sykorad I do think the rings around the balls is interesting. Did you create a preset ring size such that it only works with the balls at a certain distance or does it calculate what the ring size should be?

[Krb68691]

@sykorad Yeah true. I'm working on a laser tracking project, and I've seen alot of the issues you mentioned. Although I'm trying to get mine to work in more complex scenes, which is very difficult!

how you did it ????
