extracting an image from live video capture
May 26th, 2005, 7:40pm  
Hi! I'm new to processing and would appreciate any help or suggestions regarding live video montage.  I would like to know:

Is it possible to to extract a person from its background live  in processing using a videocamera and a monochrome screen (with diffused lighting)?  

If yes, can this effect be smoothly combined with other effects (ie. a different video background)?

Thanks!

I don't see why not, you should be able to get the current video frame, and run some code to make every pixel more than 90% blue 100% transparent, so that when you draw the image to screen, anything that was blue is now transparent, and so anything you already drew will stay there.

Yes it is possible and I did it already... with the latest versions depends on the render engine you want to use, in fact on OPENGL there are still issues.
