Blob Detection OpenCV

Question

Hi,

Typically how much time would it take to capture an image feed from a webcam and detect a blob in it?

Can it be done real time?

I am new to OpenCV, wanted to clarify few things before I jump in to coding.

thanks

Yes it can be done in realtime. Check the CMVision library. They've got some blazingly fast code for segmenting an image based on colour.
