Color Segmentation for Sixth Sense Device
Abstract
Sixth sense device is a gesture recognition
device which uses hand gestures for recognition and
performing various operations. Color segmentation is an
important task for sixth sense device after color recognition.
A RGB color space is an additive color space based on RGB
color model. This proposed color model is used to recognize
and segment various colors from real time images. A RGB
color space model consists of three chromaticity?s i.e. Red,
Green & Blue additive primaries, and can produce any
chromaticity that is defined by those colors [1]. The
continuous frames of video are converted to RGB color space,
where the color information is extracted for color recognition.
Here we capture video through HD webcam. After color
recognition, the color is being segmented. The color
segmentation involves RGB color normalization, centroid
calculation. The Euclidean distance formula is being used for
color recognition & centroid location. The coding for all the
above steps is being done using MATLAB 7.1 version.
