chroma key with processing?

hi all

is it possible to create a chroma key from a live input video in processing? if so how difficult would it be and would the quality of the image be alright?

thanks!

hi altern,

yes. but make sure you read about "live video input" in the faq first.

video input is treated as a sequence of PImages. so once a new frame is available (see Capture & Movie) you can manipulate that before drawing it on screen.

look into the references for blend() and mask().

michael did something similar with the ALPHA version of processing. to get this to work you have to change the code to be compatible with BETA. if you need help with that post here again.

hope this gets you started.

A while ago I did a realtime color key for videos + webcams in Flash: http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000615.php - the sourcecode is available on the page. So theoretically it should be possible to rebuild this in Processing - though you will have to program some of the built in flash filters yourself.
