Hi,  
I would like to know if it is possible to get the mouse coordinates on an image like we see in this video [Identify objects moving on a conveyor belt using Opencv with Python - YouTube](https://youtu.be/A29IqeahI84?t=381).

get a build of OpenCV that has the Qt toolkit enabled, or set a mouse callback. it’s all described in the documentation for the `highgui` module of OpenCV.
