Abstract

In the past, measurements for detection of color have been rigid to perform and expensive to handle. As well as in color display monitors, computer printers, plotters, paint, textiles, cosmetics, medical analysis, dental matching, etc., color sensors are often used in semiconductor (LED) sorting and testing, industrial sorting, and identification, and in label management as well. In other words, it is important to understand about the color sensing element, as it works for enormous applications in modern technology and industries. An in-depth analysis of color areas, transformations, and color management systems is usually required. This paper discusses the use of the TCS3200CS color sensing element (I2C sensing element Color Grove), which is an inexpensive hardware based on Arduino solution that can capture, process, and manage the color of any non-self-luminous object. In this way, the sample color can be sensed and the proportion of each color element color in it can be estimated. With the use of a proximity sensor, the length of the fabric that has faulty color is also detected. The formulated ...
