python颜色识别,使用opencv python进行颜色检测

I am trying to run a script written using opencv in python which uses webcam to track colored objects (here the object is blue colored), which is also mentioned in opencv's documentation here

import cv2

import numpy as np

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while(1):

# Take each frame

_, frame = cap.read()

# Convert BGR to HSV

hsv = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)

# define range of blue color in HSV

lower_blue = np.array([110,50,50])

upper_blue = np.array([130,255,255])

# Threshold the HSV image to get only blue colors

mask = cv2.inRange(hsv, lower_blue, upper_blue)

# Bitwise-AND mask and original image

res = cv2.bitwise_and(frame,frame, mask= mask)

cv2.imshow('frame',frame)

cv2.imshow('mask',mask)

cv2.imshow('res',res)

k = cv2.waitKey(5) & 0xFF

if k == 27:

break

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

But this code produces error :

OpenCV Error: Sizes of input arguments do not match (The lower bounary is neither an array of the same size and same type as src, nor a scalar) in inRange, file /build/buildd/opencv-2.4.2+dfsg/modules/core/src/arithm.cpp, line 2527

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "blue.py", line 19, in

mask = cv2.inRange(hsv, lower_blue, upper_blue)

cv2.error: /build/buildd/opencv-2.4.2+dfsg/modules/core/src/arithm.cpp:2527: error: ( (-209) The lower bounary is neither an array of the same size and same type as src, nor a scalar in function inRange

I've tried solutions provided in related stackoverflow questions, but none of them helped.

What is the problem with the code ? why this error arises ?

I'm using opencv 2.4.2 & python 2.7 on ubuntu

解决方案

The range of blue color in HSV should be given as :

lower_blue = np.array([110, 50, 50], dtype=np.uint8)

upper_blue = np.array([130,255,255], dtype=np.uint8)
