The documentation for OpenCV is getting pretty good, I was able to get circle detection working via cut and paste pretty quickly. However, I suggest adding a cvWaitKey(0); to the end of the example code so that you can see it actually running.
Also it looks like the accumulator for the Hough transform used by cvHoughCircles() only looks for maximas along the X and Y axes of the parameter space so concentric circles will not be detected as separate circles.
Update:This series of tutorials on integrating circle detection into ROS using OpenCV may also be useful.

hi.. m having a problem in compiling this program.. it says "too few arguments to function cvHoughCircles and cvSmooth"
can u please explain it n hw to remove this?
u can reply by mailing at shoaibkhan06@gmail.com
Thanx in advance
I would check the version of OpenCV you are using and use ldd to check that you are not having any linking errors.
What if I want to get the center of the circles detected, what codes of OpenCV should I use? please reply on this e-mail address: dhenn0021@gmail.com... your opinion will be highly appreciated... thanks
The documentation has how to do it.
Specifically from this code fragment
float* p = (float*)cvGetSeqElem( circles, i );
cvCircle( img,
cvPoint(cvRound(p[0]),cvRound(p[1])),
3,
CV_RGB(0,255,0),
-1, 8, 0 );
p[0] and p[1] are the x,y of the center of the circle.
what if i successfully detect the ball and the center of the circle detected, how could I calculate angle of the circle detected with for example, respect to the center of the frame? thanks for reply :)
The arc tangent of Y/X will give an angle. I don't know if that is the angle you need but you should be able to determine the angle you want with some trigonometry.
Ok I get it... Thank you very much for reply...
Can somoeone pls give the link of the code?
Where is the code?
Can anyone tell where I find this code?
The code is here
