Hi! I'm interested in a script for color tracking in processing. I have 6 colored objects to track and I would like processing to do different things based on the color object that is caputerd live by a webcam in each moment.
Can you help me?

Thanks!

This is a bit "general" for a question. What help do you need?

You can surely "get" the color of a pixels from an image in processing, if this is what you need. (Although I suspect, you'll have to look for a range of colors if you are using some captured webcam image)

Yes, I'm capturing the video from a webcam and I need to track a range of colors.
what I need is, for example, I'm moving a red object in fron of a camera, I need processing to track the colored object and for example attach to the object some external graphics, in a sort of augmented reality situation.

Yes, but what do you need of the Forum comunity ? You are not asking that somebody "write the tool" for you, are you?

So what is the actual question? Unless you ask more specificly, you are unlikely to get a (useful) reply.

Sounds like you might want to use blob detection, and there are libraries available for that:

BlobDetection & OpenCV.

both available from the libraries page of the processing.org site. Alas, I can give you no advice on how to use them, but their respective sites offer plenty of help.
