Does anyone know what python libraries are available to do the
following:
1. I would like to take a photograph of an object with a colour. In this
case, it is a sheet of sponge.
2. Feed this image into a function in a python library and let the
function
"automatically scan" this image's
pixel colours, and return an average of all the pixels' colours
in the
image.
3. I could then use the rgb values to set a colour swatch for the
object's
colour.
Please let me know if you have any ideas. It would be appreciated.
In the meantime, I will search Google and see what I can find.
Thanks
image.histogram () returns a list of pixel counts: red: index 0 - 255,
green: 256 - 511, blue: 512 - 767. Figure out the median for each
color and there you go.
This would obviously not work well with pictures containing a wide
range of colors, such as a landscape, but then color-averaging a
colorful picture wouldn't make much sense anyway. You seem to be
working with uniformly colored objects for which the method should
work well, as you'll get a narrow range of values with high counts in
each color band.

You should look at PIL, the Python Imaging Library. Or if you're
writing a GUI program, there's undoubtedly a jpeg decoder built into
whatever library you're using. For example, if you're using wxPython,
you might want to look at wx.Image, and wx.JPEGHandler.
