Is it possible to teach pixy the black object

Is it possible to teach pixy the black object through pixymon without
doing some change on firmware.
Have you some ideas or solution to make it ?
thx

Hello Andy,
Black is difficult for Pixy because it tends to be common in most scenes because of shadows. Pixy uses hue because it tends to be a more robust visual cue than intensity (black vs white).

Can you describe what you are trying to do? Maybe we can think of a different approach.

Thx for your answer Edward,
I want to make a line follower,but the color of line is black it can’t be identify by pixy.
So i am wondering is there any way to teach it.
Now I am thinking about may i use the depth of color to define which object is what i want to track.
thx

Hello Andy,
I don’t think Pixy will do very well with detecting black lines with its color connected-components algorithm, but can you possibly use a colored line?
