This week I kept working on the ball categorization and tested different techniques for segmenting the ball from the rest of the table. In the previous implementation we were using squared segments which was causing issues when calculating mean HSV values used to categorize. By switching to a circular region around the ball coupled with the HSV gradient visualizer implemented last week, the categorization accuracy is almost perfect. I am still working on refining the categorization between the 1-ball and 9-ball but am making steady progress using the gradient visualizer. I am on track to finish for the final presentation and have been communicating my progress to Luke and Samuel.
