RESISTOR COLOR CODE DETECTION

RESISTOR COLOR CODE DETECTION

Artificial intelligence-based resistor color code detector is designed by with the help of python and Open CV, it also helps us to calculate the resistance of a resistor.

The problem RESISTOR COLOR CODE DETECTION solves

The color bands printed on the resistor is detected and the resistance value is calculated by a method where first two color bands represent the first two digits of resistance value, the third color band represents the multiplier value of resistance and the last color band represents the tolerance of the resistance value. Usually, the resistor has four bands but it can also have 5 or 6 bands too. Each and every circuit used for all the electronics-based projects consist of a large number of differently valued resistors, to assemble them as well as to dismantle them the resistors has to be categorized based on their resistance values, to aid this process our invention will be of great help. The other uses of our invention will be to detect number of colors present in an image, with slight modifications in the code we have written this process can be used to help color blind people identify the colors present in any of pictures shown to them through internet, it can also in entertaining kids who likes to play with color identification games. Many schools, institutes, electronics-based industries will be the ones to get majority of the benefits from our invention. This invention will be created into an app that allows us to calculate the resistance value of a resistor just by capturing an image of it. The basic buildup of this app consists of programming languages like java, hyper-text markup language (HTML), also involves coding of open CV-python. We can also include other useful things which will be very useful like checking of resistor’s working properly, whether the resistor will suitable to place in between electronic components, we must include separate section for all these extra works which are optional. Another important feature to be added is the very reverse of our invention which is to show color code band order when resistance value of resistor given as input by the user.

Challenges I ran into

Real-time image processing plays an important role in many real time applications like object and color recognition, moving object tracking, image registration, feature extraction, motion detection, shape modeling, and many others. In the past few years, there has been fast improvisation in the development of color identification techniques for the analysis of colors present in an image. This escalation stands from the fact that there are many important real world useful applications in which color recognition techniques can be applied directly, few of the examples are as follows traffic light detection, video surveillance devices, vehicle color recognition, skin color detection, biometric registration, image partition, color recognition of clothes, resistor color code value calculation. Here, we are implementing a real-time working color observing recognition method to evaluate the resistance value of a resistor from images those are captured by the
android device on which the app is installed. Resistor is a passive electronic component mostly used in electronics based industries to oppose the flow of electric current.
