This paper presents a real-time system for ball detection and tracking system which is reliable in any conditions. Images from the webcam are processed by openCV library running on a Raspberry Pi to move the camera pan and tilt servo and two DC motors to drive the robot body using the Arduino Nano microcontroller.  The webcam is integrated in a robot prototype to represent the wheel football robot type. The results show that a ball tracking webcam system is obtained with the capability to detect a ball with a diameter of 17cm within a maximum distance of 200 cm, a stable ball reading when the light intensity is at 32 lux and above. Furthermore, the experimental results demonstrated the system’s robustness in detecting and tracking ball in different distance and ligthing conditions.References
