Machine Vision System - Color Recognition

This gui is a demonstration on the concept of machine vision system for color recognition

Description

This gui is a simple demonstration of machine vision system deployed for color matching.  
The opening gui program is eyekon.m and the rest of the m files are either supporting or function files.  
 
USAGE: eyekon  
 
Except the main color matching function which are the p-files, I have all other functions as m files to  
 
protect the I.P.  
This is an actual implementation of the system at one of the 2 wheeler vehicle manufacturing company  
I have modified a little as the main implementation required camera interface and hardware triggering  
 
The main objective of this project were are:  
1. To identify the three basic colors, i.e red, black and blue on hardware trigger,<I have modified this part  
 
as hardware triggering would have had been difficult to simulate for everyone, so it is either timer based  
 
"Auto Inspect" or "Manual Inspect" >  
2. Give out an Audio -Visual Indication on Color Change  
3. Display a "model" wearing that specific colored dress on color change  
4. Display NOCOLOR when color is not identified  
5. Functions like Auto Hide, Animation on/off, Audio indication on/off etc  
6. Control Panel to add more colors  
7. This program also stores last selected parameters on gui close, like position, auto hide, sound alert  
 
and on_top parameters.  
 
I would like to thank all those who contributed to making this code a success. The link of the thread

I execute eyekon but encountered the following errors:

Can you tell me what's wrong with my configuration. Thanks!

Samuel. This program is developed in R2006b, a version which is much more newer than the one you are using Matlab6p5. You will need to update your software to atleast R2006b or higher
