Highest color in a video feed?
« on: May 13th, 2004, 1:34am »

I was wondering if there was a really quick way to find the highest color in a video feed?
 
I would of thought this might work, but I am doing something wrong.. anychance of any pointers?
 
Code:

BImage img;
color bright=color(0, 0, 0);  
 
void setup() {
  size(320, 240);
  background(0);
  ellipseMode(CENTER_DIAMETER);
  noStroke();
  img = loadImage("pipes.gif");
  delay(20);
}
 
void loop() {
  image(img, 0, 0);
   for(int i=0; i<width; i++){
    for(int z=0; z<height; z++){
 color col = pixels[(i*width)+z];
 //
 if(red(col)>=red(bright) && green(col)>=green(bright) && blue(col)>=blue(bright)){
    bright = col;
 }
    }
  }
  // do something here
}

Have you tried using 'brightness'?  Instead of checking each pixel for red, blue, and green values, just check the brightness..

Oh, I think I see the problem.  Right now, your 'i' variable represents the number of columns you have scanned so you need to multiply i * height instead of width to get the proper pixel.  (i think... haven't had nearly enough coffee yet today.)
