A convenient method for tracking color-based object in living video based on ROS and MATLAB/Simulink

A lot of robot platforms are now using the ROS operating system. ROS gave designers a unified and open source platform to design robots. However, the ROS operating system lacks good graphical analysis and operation interfaces. MATLAB has powerful data processing, visual drawing ability and many mature algorithm functions. It is very suitable for algorithm development. At the same time, Simulink has visual interface, which is very convenient for design work. In the process of robot design, it is often encountered to analyze the collected images. Based on ROS and Simulink, this paper introduces a convenient and efficient way to analyze and track moving objects.
