Conclusion
 The color of an object is apparent only when light strikes
the object. For color to be perceived, the viewer must have blue,
green, and red receptors. Depending upon its chemical make-up,
matter has the ability to absorb, reflect or transmit visible light.

 When all the components of visible light are absorbed by
matter, the object is said to be black. On the other hand, if all the
components of visible light are reflected or transmitted by the
object, the object is considered white or clear. The visible light
spectrum is a small part of the electro-magnetic spectrum. The
visible spectrum has a wavelength range of about 380 to 740 nm.
Human eye can perceived only the visible light.

 A color sensor has the ability to determine different colors.
They will utilize a means of emitting light and then look at the
reflected light to determine an objects color. This will give the
machine the actual color of that object.

B. RGB Filter
There are two ways to implement the RGB filter depending on the
amount of tiles for each color and they are:

For 88 array 16 red(25%),16blue(25%), and 32 green(50%)

Introduction Construction and Design Types of Color Sensors Applications Conclusion

The second way use the same pattern in distribution but the
difference in the amount of tiles. Nowadays this pattern is widely
used in CS like TCS3200 CS

For 88 array 16 red(25%),16blue(25%),16 green(25%), and 16 clear(25%)no filter

They are classify the CS for two types depending on its o/p for
analogue and digital.

1-Analogue
The o/p signal either voltage or current so we need a
conditional circuit.

Introduction Construction and Design Types of Color Sensors Applications Conclusion

2-Digital
The o/p signal is frequency changing with the intensity of
the light. No need for conditioning circuit so we can connect it
directly to the microcontroller.

Nowadays the color sensor is widely used in sorting, packaging
and controlling products in all industries like:

Digital Cameras

Recycling
Pharmaceutical Industries
Food Industries

 Color sensor is one of the useful, costless and

fastest sensors used in industrial applications to reduce

manual working time and provides less human mistake

when manual system is undertaken.
