Take the formula: Y = 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B , where R,G,B denote the red, green and blue channels, respectively (note: opencv loads images in BGR).

Btw: You shouldn't use the old cv-python mats, but just stick to your numpy-arrays. Each function of cv2.* takes these numpy-arrays instead of mats as input!
