Real time circle detection and tracking by Hough Circle Transform with OpenCV on Android OS.

Real Time Circle Detection and Tracking for Android

This repository focuses on real time circle detection with OpenCV on Android OS. Please contact if you need professional object detection & tracking & counting projects on Android devices with the super high accuracy!

What does this program do?

1. Gets the camera frames and turn each frame to gray.
2. Applies the Hough Circle Transform to the grayed image.
3. Turn each frame to RGB and display the detected circle in a window.

Theory

Hough Circle Transform was used for circle detection in this project. It works in a roughly analogous way to the Hough Line Transform.

The flow diagram of this application;

OnCameraFrame method which is located at MainActivity.java;

public Mat onCameraFrame(CameraBridgeViewBase.CvCameraViewFrame inputFrame) {
        Mat input = inputFrame.gray();
        Mat circles = new Mat();
        Imgproc.blur(input, input, new Size(7, 7), new Point(2, 2));
        Imgproc.HoughCircles(input, circles, Imgproc.CV_HOUGH_GRADIENT, 2, 100, 100, 90, 0, 1000);

        Log.i(TAG, String.valueOf("size: " + circles.cols()) + ", " + String.valueOf(circles.rows()));

        if (circles.cols() > 0) {
            for (int x=0; x < Math.min(circles.cols(), 5); x++ ) {
                double circleVec[] = circles.get(0, x);

                if (circleVec == null) {
                    break;
                }

                Point center = new Point((int) circleVec[0], (int) circleVec[1]);
                int radius = (int) circleVec[2];

                Imgproc.circle(input, center, 3, new Scalar(255, 255, 255), 5);
                Imgproc.circle(input, center, radius, new Scalar(255, 255, 255), 2);
            }
        }

        circles.release();
        input.release();
        return inputFrame.rgba();
}
