Black Shape in White Background

Is pixy capable of detect black shape on white background? e.g. black nike right mark on white bg

See http://cmucam.org/boards/9/topics/2649

Hi Chandana,

Pixy’s color detection algorithm does not work well detecting very dark colors, even if its on a white background. If you try it, you’ll likely see Pixymon tell you the color saturation isn’t high enough (which I just verified). Even if you lower the min saturation settings, you’re likely to not get very good results.

You can try following what Matt is doing (in the link he posted) and try changing the color detection algorithm, although this will require you to have the Keil IDE/compiler.
