Is there a specific command in Vision assistant to get the camera to tell you the area or bounding box of the color. When i used color location it shows up as a little box in the color instead of the whole color. Or am i going about this all wrong?
Once you have a binary image, the output from a threshold, you can use the particle analysis step. It has lots of measurements by default, and a button to select which measurements you want.
The vision example for tracking the gimbal does it. There is a VI called something like size ordered morphology, and it asks for all the values, pulls out the sizes, sorts them, then moves the original rows in the same way.
You can use it for a pattern, or you may even be able to use it.
