Detecting a sequence of colors [closed]

edit

Hello all,

I have done very, very little with opencv, but a part of my current project requires its use, so I wanted to consolidate ideas about how to accomplish it before I get there.

In short, I need to view a sequence of colors and use the order of that sequence to determine the order in which my robot travels to certain destinations. Is there an established way to do something similar to this? I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if it can be avoided.

My initial idea is to simply create a list and append a color name or initial for each color shown. Then maybe confirm it by reading it once more.

Thanks for any input.
