HI,
 every body , I found if I set 7 signatures ,then the color will affect each other . for example  , If I set dark yellow as sig1 , light yellow as sig2 ,then the pixy will not  recognize the light yellow one. other situation like green will affect red recognization . if I set only 1 signature ,then the pixy will recognize the light yellow one .so my question is can we change something , so the signature will not affect each other? 

Thanks 
Yuan

Hello,
Yes, it is true that if you have color signatures that are close
together in hue-space, Pixy will give the signature with the lower
number priority. For example, if you taught Pixy the same object for
signature 1 and 2, signature 1 would dominate.

Significant overlap in hue space between signatures should be avoided.

thanks,

Thanks for your reply.
I also test Hmulet program, if i use a pattern ,it works well .if I used a real pattern ,then it will not works as well.especially it will not recognize purple. I tested If there is only one signiture, then in most situation, it works well. so I think ,if it is possible in mo side ,each frame only check one signiture ? in m4 side finally deal with 7 result?

thanks 
Yuan

Hi Yuan,
Bear in mind that hue can vary quite a bit within an object and in
different lighting. Pixy's color signatures take this into account by
detecting a range of hues at different brightnesses If you're trying
to make distinctions between two objects that have similar hue, you
will probably find that it's difficult to do so robustly.

That  is corect! if change light ,then the result quite different . that means ov9715 dynamic range is a little bit lower , it is only 69 db. so how about we change the ov9715 to ov10635 ,then the dynamic range can improve to 115 db, the pixy can be High Dynamic Range .(HDR), and ov10635 can also direct output YUV signal . 

Best Regards

Yuan

Hi Yuan,
It's true that if you have 7 signatures loaded, they may affect each
other. This "cross-affecting" is worse when you teach Pixy objects
that have 2 or more "close" hues -- bluish-green and green, for
example. Or dark blue and dark purple. Pixy will prioritize the
lower-numbered signatures (allocate more space in the color space).
The result is that the higher-numbered signatures will have lower
detection accuracy. It can sometimes be a challenge to find 7 colors
that are distinct enough such that they don't interfere with each
other. This gets to the root of the task -- trying to detect objects
based on their hue.

Hope this helps.
