Hello,

I can't find a solution for my problem and I need your help. I have to create an application to detect if a valve is open or close like this :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY92f...

Some valves had a handle with color, but some valve don't, I dont know how I am going to resolve this problem to detect the valve position "close" or "open" without colors, I can't use machine learning because I have only 3 valves without colors and I can't create a large database.

Any help, i can't find a solution, I tried template matching and it's not working.

Edit 1 : I add a more clear images :

Valve opened :

Valve closed :

This is not an opencv problem ... you'll need some edge based template matching (rotation invariant). If your camera is fixed that's even easier.

Take a look at the generalize hough for edge based template matching . you can also try SIFT

I will try "generalize hough for edge based template matching". I already tested SIFT and SURF and ORB and they do not work, they can not find interesting points of interest on the valve.

There is a posibility to add colores, especial ones like pink ir orange at valves for better detection? Colors there are dificult for recognition. All grays..

@Greydel Yes, that's the last solution that I have. I will add some "marking colors", for example a red small rectangle or triangle near the valve.
