Color Recognizer

This program is written for learning purpose of building the naturally inteligent system, e.g. cognitive architecture.

Goal is to classify the colors based on any neural network algorhytm with web camera input.

How it works

Program reads a web camera and analyze the images in real time while user can annotate images also in real time.

For annotation one has to place a object in front of camera. Best practice is to place object as close as possible to gain a flat color in camera window. The it is computed average RGB value from the image and a) predict the color or b) user can annotate the color by him/her self by pressing the keyboard as follows:

Color	Shortcut
White	w
Black	k
Red	r
Green	g
Blue	b
Orange	o
Purple	p
Violet	v

For quit the program just press ESC key while focused on main window.

Neuronal network

It was used a Decision Tree Classifier for training neuronal network because of it is easy interpretation and exploring the meaning of the classification at the begining.

This is the setup (actually the basic one):

DecisionTreeClassifier(class_weight=None, criterion='gini', max_depth=None,
            max_features=None, max_leaf_nodes=None,
            min_impurity_decrease=0.0, min_impurity_split=None,
            min_samples_leaf=1, min_samples_split=2,
            min_weight_fraction_leaf=0.0, presort=False, random_state=None,
            splitter='best')

Each session is saved and on the start of another one classifier is trained again to strength the classification.

Decision tree classificator vizualization:

Dependecies

• Python 3.6
• OpenCV 2
• NumPy
• Scikit-learn
• Web camera (obviously)

Running

Open the code color_recognizer.py in any Python IDE or editor and simply run it. Or you can navigate by terminal into direction of file and run it by python3 color_recognizer.py

Demo

This is a real demo of early training (e.g., 50-60 per training images per color)
