How to filter and track colors in C#

Based on the information provided on this page you will be able to implement color filtering and tracking with your C# camera application. As a first step, OZEKI Camera SDK has to be installed and a reference to OzekiSDK.dll has to be added to your Visual Studio project.

black color tracked — Figure 1 - Black color is tracked in real time

filtered colors — Figure 2 - White color is filtered in real time

You can write a code to recognise the most dominant color in the picture, since the color with the biggest total rectangle area is the most dominant color (Figure 3). The total rectangle area can be calculated by adding the area of every rectangle of a tracked color.

black is the most dominant color — Figure 3 - The black color is the most dominant color

If you count the number of rectangles, you are be able to count the objects with a choosen color (Figure 4). Keep in mind to only count the rectangles with the proper size.

Important: you should study this article in order to find out how to setup your Windows Forms Application correctly.

Getting started

To get started it is recommended to Download and Install the latest version of Ozeki Camera SDK. After installation you can find the example code discussed in this page with full source code in the following location on your harddisk with the windows version installed:
C:\Users\user\Documents\Ozeki\Ozeki SDK\Examples\Camera\04_ComputerVision\15_ColorTracking

Download Ozeki Camera SDK:
https://camera-sdk.com/p_6513-download-onvif-ozeki-camera-sdk-for-c-sharp.html

To compile this example you will need Microsoft Visual Studio installed on your computer.

Corporate use of color tracking

Color detection is a great application which can make your business life a lot more easier.

Color detection can be an effective help in public and private environments. For example: if you would like to detect the color of the car stopped at the barrier or if you wish to count the number of red cars in the parking lot or on the highway. By tracking a chosen color you can analyze the movement of unique colored objects.

How to use color filtering and tracking

You are capable to filter any color you choose from the RGB scale. The background of the filtered color can be in any color as well. The movement of the objects with a chosen color can be tracked. You will visually see the tracked colors in the form of moving rectangles. You can read the shape, position and number of rectangles in real time. You can also set the color of the rectangles.

Implement color detection in C#

Some computer vision possibilities which are supplied by the SDK require an extra ToolKit. This ToolKit is the OzekiComputerVision.dll to which a reference has to be added in the project, just like in the case of the OzekiSDK.dll. This dll is responsible for the algorithms and tools which are necessary for the CV (Computer Vision) actions.

Streaming video to the GUI

For detecting colors we advise you to use the ColorTracker object of the Ozeki Camera SDK. This is an individual object working on it's own.
You need to connect the color detector to the media stream like this:

_connector = new MediaConnector();
_connector.Connect(_camera.VideoChannel, _colorTracker);

Then connect it to an image provider so you could see it on the screen (in the GUI):

_connector.Connect(_colorTracker, _imageProvider);
OriginalViewer.SetImageProvider(_imageProvider);

(scroll down to MainForm.cs which is the full working example)

Used Variables in our Example (MainForm.cs)

OzekiCamera _camera;
Webcamera instance, with the help of this we can get the camera stream.
MediaConnector _connector;
Using this we can connect the mediahandlers
CameraURLBuilderWF _myCameraUrlBuilder;
Make access to all avaiable cameras, which you can select from afterwards.
DrawingImageProvider _imageProvider, _processedImageProvider;
These object instances are connected to the camera stream with a MediaConnector, so you will be able to show the camera stream on your display.
ColorTracker _colorTracker, _colorFilter;
These are the object instances which can do the color detection. They have the following variables each:
- Flags that turn on and off color detection functions (you can use both or neither too):
  - Filter
  - Tracking
- Color (Very important! This sets the detectable color.)
- BackColor (If Filter is true then this is the color of the unfiltered area.)
- DrawColor (If Tracking is true this is the frame color of the rectangles.)
- FillColor (If Tracking is true this is the fill color of the rectangles.)
- DrawThickness (If Tracking is true this is the thickness of the rectangle frames.)
- ObjectsFound (This is the list of the rectangles. Every Rectangle object contains the size and position of the rectangle. By counting the Rectangle objects you get the number of rectangles.)
