Object Detection System

Task Overview

Develop an application that recognizes the shape, color and position of objects captured by a video camera. The system must automatically detect changes in the scenario.

Setup Requirements

• Objects are placed on an 18x18cm flat surface (e.g. colored paper)
• Positions are output as coordinates in a unit square with corners at (0,0) and (1,1)
• Positions must be verifiable (e.g. through markings on the surface)

Object Set Requirements

1. Each object must be solid-colored (one color only)
2. Minimum of 4 different object shapes (e.g. cube, pyramid, cylinder, sphere)
3. Minimum of 4 different object colors (e.g. red, green, blue, yellow)
4. Each shape must exist in at least 2 colors
5. At least 4 objects must exist in duplicate (or more)

Example Object Set

• 2 red cubes
• 2 yellow cubes
• 2 blue pyramids
• 2 yellow pyramids
• 1 red cylinder
• 1 green cylinder
• 1 green sphere
• 1 blue sphere

Implementation Notes

• 3D objects are preferred
• If using 2D objects (paper shapes, coins, flat LEGO pieces), the software must handle overlapping
• For 3D objects, overlapping is excluded during placement
