Abstract :
In this study, real time industrial application of single board computer based color detection system is realized. In this system, BeagleBoard-xM as a single board computer, a USB camera, a conveyor belt and an LCD7 touch screen are used. OpenCV is used as an image processing library in this color detection system. The main goal of this study is to define the number of different colored packages passing on the conveyor belt according to their color. Then, real time results of the number of the packages and the total package number are displayed on the LCD7 touch screen. At the same time, the USB camera image of the related package on the conveyor belt is monitorized on the same touch screen. If no image of any packages is taken by the USB camera during 60 seconds, the system is turned off.
