Ball Tracking

This project uses OpenCV to track ball movement. The process for tracking is as follows:

• Convert color to HSV
• Create a pixel mask to identify the ball using upper and lower color bounds
• Erode and dilate the mask to reduce noise
• Indentify contours and draw a circle around the ball

Prerequisites

• Python 2.7
• OpenCV

Getting Started

Run the ball tracking script against the example video:

$ python ball_tracking.py --video ball_tracking_example.mp4
