7. Color recognition

7. Color recognition

1. Introduction to HSV color space:

RGB color space is the most familiar color space, that is, the three primary color spaces. Any color can be mixed by the three colors. However, effective processing of images in color space is generally carried out in HSV space. HSV (Hue, Saturation, Brightness Value) is a color space created based on the intuitive characteristics of color, also known as the hexagonal pyramid model.

Why choose HSV space instead of RGB space? For images, identifying corresponding colors is feasible in RGB space, HSV space or other color spaces. The reason why HSV was chosen is because the hue represented by H can basically determine a certain color, and combined with the saturation and brightness information, it can be judged to be greater than a certain threshold. RGB is composed of three components, and the contribution proportion of each component needs to be judged. That is, the recognition range of HSV space is wider and more convenient.

HSV color space model

2. Conversion of three color spaces (gray BGR HSV):

There are more than 150 color space conversion methods in OpenCV, but there are only two that we often use, namely BGR->Gray and BGR->HSV. Note that Gray and HSV are not convertible to each other. Color space conversion: cv2.cvtColor(input_image, flag)

BGR->Gray: flag is cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY

BGR->HSV: flag is cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV

The value range of HSV color space in OpenCV:

H [0, 179] S [0, 255] V [0, 255]

Value range of commonly used colors

Based on the above interval, our goal is to identify whether it is the color interval we set, and replace this color with white first, replace it with black if it is not this color, and finally replace the white part with the original image.

         #cv2.imshow('Mask', mask)

         # detect blue Perform a bitwise AND operation on the mask on the original video frame, then the white in the mask will be replaced with the real image:

This is the effect of performing red recognition. If you want to recognize other colors, you can annotate the red range and open other color ranges.
