Every image is represented as a matrix. If it is a grayscale image each element of the matrix represents a gray-scale intensity from 0 to 255.

If it is an RBG image, each element is a tuple representing the intensity of Red, Blue and Green colors. E.g. (255, 255,255) is white, (0,0,0) is gray.

First identify your region of interest, and then you can check the matrix elements in that area.
