<![CDATA[Digital image processing is a rapidly developing branch of computer science and has many applications in everyday life. One of the fields that most often utilizes this technique is object detection and color identification in images and videos. This study specifically aims to implement the thresholding method in the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color space to detect three basic colors, namely red, green, and blue, in digital images. The research process begins with uploading images using the Google Colab platform, a cloud-based computing environment that makes it easy for users to run Python programs without requiring additional software installation. After the image is uploaded, the next step is to convert it from the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color space to the HSV color space. This conversion is important because the HSV color space is more suitable for use in the color segmentation process. The Hue value represents the type of color, Saturation shows the level of saturation, while Value describes the level of brightness. Once the image is in the HSV color space, the next step is to determine the HSV value range for each basic color. This range is determined based on experimental results and references from related literature. Using this range, masking is performed to extract the appropriate pixels so that only the red, green, or blue portions of the image are visible, while the other colors are reduced. The results show that the thresholding method in the HSV color space is capable of detecting primary colors with a good level of visual accuracy, especially in simple images with contrasting backgrounds. The implementation of this program is relatively lightweight, easy to run directly in Google Colab, and does not require high-spec hardware. Therefore, this method is very suitable for use as basic learning material for digital image processing, both for students and novice researchers.]]>
