Trouble Detecting Ball in Image

[AIS Falcons]

Hey all,

We're trying to detect the ball in the camera feed so we can either pick it up autonomously or make it easier for the driver. We were able to find the ball in vision assistant but when we moved the code to Dashboard it was no longer working the same way. We're using an HSV threshold, a filter for small particles, a canny edge detector, and a Gaussian blur. Upon testing the code and looking at the output picture we saw that the Gaussian blur was not showing up.
Most of our code is in the attached picture, it's based off the default dashboard.

Thanks,
