Hi there. I currently have a program that will track and put a bounding rectangle around the high goal, which I need if I'm going to track the distance from the camera to the target. My problem is that it works greatish if everything else if dark except the reflective tape, like in the example images provided by FIRST. The problem being is that I have been able to get my own example images from my team's high goal, but it hasnt been able to track the tape because everything else is just as bright as the tape. Is there any method of only making the tape for the most part the only bright object in a image, no matter the setting? Have you guys had to calibrate your image processing before matches while at competition?
Edit: I am using the green ring LED and the axis camera.
This is what my images look like.

This is what I would like them to look like.
