Holes-Locator

This application uses OpenCV to detect holes in a video feed and calculates the angle of rotation of the ring needed to align one of the holes to the initial point. The angle is then mapped to an analog value in the range of 0 to 255, which can be used for further processing or control.

Introduction

The goal of this project is to detect holes in a video feed from a camera and calculate the vertical displacement (( \Delta y )) of the detected holes from the center of the frame. This displacement is then used to calculate the angle of rotation needed to align a hole with an initial point. The calculated angle is mapped to an analog value (0-255) for use in various applications.

Requirements

• Python 3.10
• OpenCV
• NumPy

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/pulinduvidmal/Holes-Locator.git
   cd Holes-Locator
   

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Usage

1. Run the script:

   python main.py
   

2. The script will open a window displaying the video feed. It will detect circles and draw them on the frame along with the calculated vertical displacement and rotation angle.

Acknowledgments

This project was inspired by a need to detect and align objects using computer vision and to map these alignments to analog values for further processing.
