For example:

cv2.rectangle(img,pt1,pt2, X ,-1)

X = (B,G,R) for red, green, and blue.

I want to draw a square that has a specific (h,s,v) value. Can someone please tell me of a way I can use my (h,s,v) value in a drawing functions such as cv2.rectangle?

I'd rather not use some kind of online converter or anything outside my code please.

Sorry but I do not quite understand your question. A couple questions 1: Do you already have the BGR to HSV conversion done? 2: What exactly do you mean by draw a square that has a specific (h,s,v) value? Are you trying to do this on the image that was converted from BGR2HSV or an entirely new image which is represented in HSV?

  1. I've used frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV), but then the frame shows everything in very unrealistic colors.

  2. I want to use the drawing function in this format: (cv2.rectangle( img,pt1,pt2,(hue,saturation,value),-1)

3.I want to use cv2.rectangle( img,pt1,pt2,(hue,saturation,value),-1) on a frame that looks like a normal natural frame.

Also, using color of (0,255,0) gives me a green rectangle on both my normal frames and hsv frames.

Maybe reading this would help you understand the results you get after the HSV conversion.

What you need to do is convert the BGR colour to it's respective HSV component. It is a simple calculation that can be a little fun challenge for you to implement. Details of the algorithm can be found here.

If you feel lazy; which I hope you don't, here's a Github repo with the implementation.

Happy Coding!

Cheers :)
