How do you make a script which codes for counting the number of objects based on color?

Construct the 3-D histogram where you scan the image, getting the R, G, and B values and using those as an index into a histogram array. Then count the number of non-zero values. Something like

h = zeros(256,256,256);
[rows, columns, numberOfColorChannels] = size(rgbImage);
for col = 1 : columns
    for row = 1 : rows
        r = rgbImage(row, col, 1);
        g = rgbImage(row, col, 2);
        b = rgbImage(row, col, 3);
        h(r, g, b) = h(r, g, b) + 1;
    end
end
numColors = nnz(h)

Be aware that this counts unique colors even if they're only extremely slightly different. For example [100, 120, 140] is considered a different color than [101, 120, 140]. If you want wider bins than that you'll have to do it slightly differently. You could even use a clustering method like kmeans() to try to figure out some best number of clusters.

hello @Image Analyst, what if i want to count the number of blue colored objects in a picture?
