# Perform Color Analysis

To configure color analysis

1. Create a new configuration to send to HPE Media Server with the `process` action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

2. In the `[Analysis]` section, add a new analysis task using the `AnalysisEngine` parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

       [Analysis]
       ...
       AnalysisEngine2=ColorClusterTask

3. Create a new configuration section to contain the task settings and set the following parameters:

   `Type` | The analysis engine to use. Set this to `ColorCluster`.
   `Input` | (Optional) The name of the track that contains the images to process. If you do not specify an input track, HPE Media Server processes the first track of the correct type.
   `ColorSpace` | (Optional) The color space in which the results of analysis are provided.
   `ColorDictionary` | (Optional) The path to a dictionary file that associates names with RGB color values. If you set this parameter, the task clusters colors around colors that are defined in the dictionary, and the results will include a name (such as "light blue" or "red") for each cluster.

   For example:

       [ColorClusterTask]
       Type=ColorCluster
       Input=MyTask.ResultWithSource
       ColorSpace=RGB

4. (Optional) You can restrict color analysis to a specific region of the image or video frame.

   - To restrict analysis to a region that you define manually, add the following configuration parameters to the task:

     `Region` | The region to analyze. Specify the region using a comma-separated list of values that describe a rectangle (`left,top,width,height`).
     `RegionUnit` | The units you want to use to define the region (`pixel` or `percent`).

   - To restrict analysis to a region that is supplied by another analysis task, add the following configuration parameter:

     `RestrictToInputRegion` | A Boolean value that specifies whether to analyze a region of the input image or video frame that is specified in the input record, instead of the entire image. Set this parameter to `TRUE`.

     NOTE:

     If you set `RestrictToInputRegion`, the input track that you specify must contain region data. Many analysis engines, for example clothing detection or object recognition, produce records that contain regions.

5. Save and close the configuration file.
