There are a few parameters in the HoughCirclefunction. Is there a way to use the trackbars to change these parameters? so that I would not need to run the program every time i want to change them.

Thank you.

}

I have the cout expression to help me with locating the bug. In the window, it is showing like this enter image description here CMD window

And there is a problem with the HoughCircle function.

The code stops at number 2, and after like 10 seconds, it jump to 3 and loop over. I can't see what is the problem. The ... (more)

  • i do not think, there's any real error in your prog, it's just damn slow.
  • using your default values, it detects a good 1000 circles, so try to increase the default values for param1 to ~50 and param2 to ~150 (less circles, will make huge speedup)
  • you probably will need sliders for min/max radius, too !
  • to actually see the circles drawn, you will need another cv::imshow("image1", src); at the end

  • good luck !

Hi Thank you very very much for your reply Is there anywhere explain how different values of param1 and 2 will affect the number of circles?

Min max radius yes, was only trying on param1 and 2.. but somewhere on the internet, it says if the radius is unknown, put both as 0?

Thank you again

btw, docs .

"it says if the radius is unknown, put both as 0" - yes, true.

specifying min/max radius will let you restrict the number of found circles further, so you only keep the ones in the right size.

Thank you Is it normal to experience lags when detecting circle through the laptop built-in webcam? I used param 1 and 2 = 100 and 150 +- and i experience lags of about 3 seconds. is there a way to reduce such lag? the circle i am detecting is of different radius, i kept both min and max to zero anyway. updated the code above

"Is it normal to experience lags" - yes. though 3 seconds is really unfortunate.

if you can, try to use a smaller image (CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT/WIDTH) , and again, keep param1 and param2 as high as ever possible
