CMUcam5 Pixy algorithm

hello to all,

i’m working a bit with my pixy cam 5 since i got it for my bachelor thesis and i’m a bit courious about how pixy does the recognition of the signatures, i mean i want to know better how the algorithm in the processor of the device works.

can someone please explain it to me? it doesn´t have to be a deep explanation or at least tell me where can i find some information related to it, it has been very complicated for me to find it

greetings from Colombia to all

Hello Sebastian,
There is some information here:

http://cmucam.org/projects/cmucam5

But in general, Pixy uses a lookup-table to determine if a given pixel is part of one of the 7 color signatures. It then assembles these detected pixels into “blobs” using a connected components algorithm.

Hope this helps!

Edward
