Detecting LED array

Hey guys,

im working on a project (Qt & C++) to detect an 10x11 LED array in an image. I need the (center)coordinates from each LED to measure the time. I tried several methods (HoughCircle, contour detection, blob detection) but non of them is robust enough to detect all 110 LEDs due to changes in illumination, reflections on the LEDs and noise in the image. Has anyone an idea how to deal with this?

My image roi looks like this:

Just switch to HSV space and threshold on the red color region. That will work perfectly in this case and illumination is less important in that space.

Thx Steven, but detecting only the red ones is not my problem. I need the coordinates from all 110 LEDs no matter if they're on or off.

Can't you fix the camera and mark the LED centers manually?

No, different cameras and focal length.

Hi @Rob! Since your Background color is Different.

  1. Convert the Image into HSV Color Space.
  2. Filter the Background Image Color by using InRange()
  3. Apply Eroding & Dilate to the Binary Image.
  4. Find Contours & Filter them by Area and find the Bounding Box Center.
  5. Now You Know the Co-Ordinates of LED in Image ,the width and Height of each LED.
  6. Set ROI to this Region to decide whether it is ON or OFF by using HSV Values.

Share your work so that we can find were you struck.

Tried it but due to different illumination the delate/erode parameters have to change for some images, thats not very convenient for my task.

what have you tried? Update your code. Also have you noticed all these LED are properly Aligned? So have you considered to estimate these points?
