Color connected components expert tab

This tab contains more advanced parameters for adjusting various color connected components things. To bring up this tab, you must be running the color_connected_components program by selecting in the Program menu, and then bring up the Configure Dialog (click on the gear icon or select File➜Configure). Now select the Expert tab under Pixy Parameters.

  • Block filtering: asdf
  • Max tracking velocity: asdf
  • Max blocks: This parameter sets maximum total number of blocks (objects) Pixy will report per frame. For example, if you set this parameter to 2, Pixy will report a maximum of 2 objects (the 2 largest objects) regardless of which signature the blocks belong to, and all other detected objects will not be reported.
  • Max blocks per signature: This parameter sets the maximum number of blocks (objects) Pixy will report per signature, per frame. For example, if you set this parameter to 2, Pixy will report a maximum of 2 objects for each signature, and all other detected objects with that signature will not be reported.
  • Max merge dist:
  • Min block area: sets the minimum area of reported blocks. If a detected block has a smaller area, it will not be reported. For this purpose, area of a block is calculated as width * height.
  • LED brightness: sets the brightness of Pixy's RGB LED. Pixy's LED is quite bright if you want it to be (too bright to look at!)
  • Signature teach threshold: This parameter applies when you are teaching Pixy a signature using the button-push method. It allows you to adjust how inclusive Pixy is when determining which pixels are part of the object you are trying to teach. You can find more information here.
  • Color code mode: This parameter sets the behavior of color codes, including enabling/disabling. Hovering the mouse over the parameter will provide information on the available settings.
    Enabled: Color codes are enabled, normal mode.
    Disabled: Color codes are disabled.
    Color codes only: Only color codes are reported. Objects that match non-color-code signatures will not be reported.
    Mixed: This is the same as normal color code mode, but Pixy will also report color-code signatures that aren't part of color codes. (Normally, Pixy only reports color-code signatures that are part of color codes – 2 or more color-code signatures that are close together.)
  • Default program: This parameter sets the program that gets executed upon power-up. The available programs are listed in the pulldown menu.
  • Program select on power-up:
  • Debug: sets the debug level within Pixy. Setting the value to 0 means that no debugging information is displayed.
