Looking for a more powerful PixelSearch function

Recommended Posts

Hi. Perhaps someone has already done this, but what I'm looking for is similar to the built-in command PixelSearch, but with a better ability to specify the variation. Ideally I would be able to specify separate shade-variation values for each of R, G, or B. Or perhaps even better would be able to specify variations in hue, saturation, and brightness instead (which makes more sense to me). For example, if I were looking for any color that was green, I could use values of, say, hue=0.30 to 0.36 (greenish), saturation=0 to 1 (any saturation), and brightness=0 to 1 (any brightness). Not sure how that would translate to RGB, perhaps 255, 15, 255? Anyway hopefully I've explained myself well enough.

Any ideas how to go about accomplishing this? Perhaps an AutoIt Guru has already written something similar? I know I could use PixelGetColor in a loop though all pixels in the box specified by the coordinates, but, without having written the code to do that, I would suspect that performance would be terrible. Anyway, would appreciate any help. TIA

$Pixel = PixelSearch(24, 58, 1006, 735, 4864590)

While IsArray($Pixel)
  Msgbox(0,"Pixel Coordinate", $Pixel[0] & "," & $Pixel[1])
  Sleep(100)

You can start with this code for now and probably go further later on.

But you have a very interesting idea here...

This is exactly what I want as well, and since I'm a programmer I guess I'll go write the DLL ... just need an example DLL which should be hard to find around here.

OK, I made a start but didn't have time to do it in a DLL, but I did have time to write this function which might give someone else ideas. Red = 0, Green = 1, and Blue = 2 on the RGB012 parameter.

Oops, one more time:

            If $low_limit > -1 Then

                        Return

Try this.
