Hello guys just a quick question with regards to CV2 Template matching.

I’m developing a bot program for an old online MMORPG game and as part of the calibration system I have 4 functions with the purpose of finding each cardinal point . All works well , however I want to add a 5th function that gets the current position.

So what it’s supposed to do is simply find the current cardinal point orientation on a compass image by comparing the current position on that image with a list of templates for each cardinal point .

 self.all_cardinals = [self.east_img,self.north_img,self.west_img,self.south_img]
   
 def findcurrent(self):
     for image in self.all_cardinals:
         test_img = pyautogui.screenshot(region=(1249, 102, 22, 22))
         test_img2 = cv2.cvtColor(np.array(test_img), cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)
         result = cv2.matchTemplate(test_img2, image, method=cv2.TM_CCORR_NORMED, mask=image)
         min_val, max_val, min_loc, max_loc = cv2.minMaxLoc(result)
         threshold = 0.945
         if max_val >= threshold:
            break
         else:
            continue

Compass mage to search over

Template image to search for

Now all this works fine in the sense that if the character in-game is facing any one of the 4 cardinal points it breaks out of the loop, however I am struggling with outputting that result and adding that in a ‘if’ condition statement.

For example if the result was a match for the W cardinal point then do something like another function.

Or if the result was a match for the S cardinal point do something else.

I have been going back and forth with this and tried a few different methods like adding a return image to the function which gives me back a 3d array and tried to compare that to the original cv2.imread of that image.

east_img = cv2.imread('resources/findxy/facingeast.png')
east_test = Calibrate.findcurrent()
print(east_img == east_test)

I’m getting a ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes .

MRE. We have a white background image (bgcolor is irrelevant) with 1 red square on it. . We then template-match 4 different color squares (one being red) by using a for loop and tell it to break when it finds a match . How do we then obtain that output (red match) and use it. e.g if the match was the red square then do something
