Is it possible to detect a circle with grey color and blue dot in center

Is it possible to detect a grey circle in an image with blue dot at the center?

I'm new to open CV can someone please guide?

Thanks, Testmann

If you can guarantee that the blue dot is the only element on the map with that colour, then you don’t need OpenCV. Just average the location of all the blue pixels to get the centre.

Thanks for the response. I want to check the small blue circle along with the outer grey circle

Ok. Let me think on it some more.

So, to be clear, what are the data you’re looking for? Location and radius of blue and grey circles?

Can you guarantee that this blue colour is only used for the one and only element?

Are you using Python, or C++, or...?

Blue is the only colour used and I'm using Python

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python37
#Raspberry pi 3/4, OpenCV 4.1.2
#Date: November 18th 2019

import cv2 as cv
import numpy as np

def select_blue(image):
    hsv = cv.cvtColor(image, cv.COLOR_RGB2HSV)
    # blue color mask
    lower = np.uint8([100,50,50])
    upper = np.uint8([130,255,255])
    blue_mask = cv.inRange(image, lower, upper)

    return blue_mask # cv.bitwise_and(image, image, mask = mask)

while True:
    frame = cv.imread('map.png')
    hsv = cv.cvtColor(frame, cv.COLOR_BGR2HSV)

    mask =  select_blue(hsv)

    element = cv.getStructuringElement(cv.MORPH_RECT,(3,3))
    mask = cv.erode(mask,element, iterations=2)
    mask = cv.dilate(mask,element,iterations=2)
    mask = cv.erode(mask,element)

    contours, hierarchy = cv.findContours(mask, cv.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
    maximumArea = 0
    bestContour = None
    for contour in contours:
        currentArea = cv.contourArea(contour)
        if currentArea > maximumArea:
            bestContour = contour
            maximumArea = currentArea
    if bestContour is not None:
        x,y,w,h = cv.boundingRect(bestContour)
        cv.rectangle(frame, (x,y),(x+w,y+h), (0,0,255), 1)        

    cv.imwrite('map.jpg', frame)    
    cv.imshow('frame',frame)

    if cv.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

cv.destroyAllWindows()

Output: detect_map

you can try the code here which produces a result image like below

also you can support the idea of merging related algorithms in OpenCV see related issue

This is very near. I want to detect only the circle which has a blue dot/circle. Is there Python code for this?
