Here I want to check if a pixel is of green color.

Only getting a BGR value from a pixel and changing it is mentioned here in the Basic Operations on Images in python

What will be the python command that I would have to use to check a pixel?

YourImage[coordinate_X , coordinate_Y]] ; you'll get an array of R G B data if its green then its 0 255 0 You can also use cv2.inRange to check green color.

@Ziri How do I check this in a condition like IF statement? (We are talking about python I hope, not C++) ๐Ÿ˜…

Try : color = YourImage[coordinate_X , coordinate_Y]] ; if ( color[0] == 0 && color[1] == 255 && color[2] ==0) --> Its green

I found an answer here link

b,g,r = cv2.split(img[x,y])

or

b,g,r,a=cv2.split(img[x,y])

Since there's a warning about using split here link

numpy array has been mentioned as a good alternative

if img[98,68][1]==255 :

0=Blue, 1=Green and 2=Red
