identify color

[joeyone]

imagine we have a color that is blue and somtimes

this color changes to slightly darker blue or lighter blue

even if it changes we need to identify the color as "blue"

i need to find this information at a specific pixel using

pixelgetcolor (or any other function if there is a better way to do this).

i also want to know how to put the information in a loop so i

can search for more than one color

how do i do this?

hope someone can help me with this

thanks

Not a problem. First step: define "Blue".

Give us your mathematical definition of "Blue", in the context of a 24bit RGB color.

Once you have that, the code is easy. Of course, that definition IS the hard part...

i mean just small changes

for example

R 100 - 103

G 204 - 214

B 47 - 50

so if we know between witch ranges the color is shown how do we do then?

I posted a script to convert RGB color to HSB, with this you can determine the threshold of what you think is "blue", and use a condition to only accept Hues within a certain number of degrees of absolute blue.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=63674

For example:

$result = _RGBtoHSB(000, 000, 255)

MsgBox(0, "Blue", "H:" & $result[0] & @CRLF & "S:" & $result[1] & @CRLF & "B:" & $result[2])

;If hue is near 240 degrees, saturation and brightness are greater than 37%

If ($result[0] >= 220 $result[0] <= 250) AND ($result[1] > 37) AND ($result[2] > 37) Then...

If you want to get the component values from the RGB value:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit")

While 1
    $avMousePos = MouseGetPos()
    $avColor = _PixelGetColorValues($avMousePos[0], $avMousePos[1])
    ToolTip("Pixel Color at: x=" & $avMousePos[0] & " y=" & $avMousePos[1] & @LF & _
            "Color = 0x" & Hex($avColor[0], 6) & " (" & $avColor[0] & ")" & @LF & _
            "Red = 0x" & Hex($avColor[1], 2) & " (" & $avColor[1] & ")" & @LF & _
            "Green = 0x" & Hex($avColor[2], 2) & " (" & $avColor[2] & ")" & @LF & _
            "Blue = 0x" & Hex($avColor[3], 2) & " (" & $avColor[3] & ")")
WEnd

; Returns the color values of a pixel in an array:
; [0] = RGB integer value
; [1] = Red byte

Func _PixelGetColorValues($x, $y)
    Local $iColor = Number(PixelGetColor($x, $y))
    Local $avRGB[4] = [$iColor, (BitAND($iColor, 0xFF0000) / 16^4), (BitAND($iColor, 0x00FF00) / 16^2), BitAND($iColor, 0x0000FF)]
    Return $avRGB
