I'm trying to locate a given color within the frame and compare its location to a given value, ideally I would like a color range. Right now I would like to know if it's on the left or the right hand side of the frame. I'm able to do this for a single frame using a really slow search method and I feel like there has to be a more efficient way of doing this using an opencv function.
Here's what I'm currently using
# Searches an image for a given color and plots results
import cv2
import pylab as p
# Import the image
im = cv2.imread('orange.jpg')
width = len(im[0,:])
height = len(im[:,0])
# Define color
B = 34
G = 36
R = 36
result_x = []
result_y = []
for i in range(height):
for j in range(width):
for k in range(2):
if (im[i,j,0]==B and im[i,j,1]==G and im[i,j,2]==R):
result_x.append(j)
result_y.append(i)
p.plot(result_x,result_y,'ro')
p.xlim(0,width)
p.ylim(0,height)
p.gca().invert_yaxis()
p.show()
