Object Tracking????
Oct 27th, 2006, 5:54pm  
Hi All

Firstly apologies if this seems like I am being lazy in posting this, but I am new to Processing and have done quite a few searches and haven't found what I am looking for, so i'm going to use the saying, "if you don't ask, you don't get"

Anyway to the problem,  I wish to Track objects using a webcam and processing and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for tutorials or what code I need to use.

In a nutshell I wish to track an artists movements and relay the data recorded (x,y co-ordinates????) to the computer to then use this data to represent the artists movements on a different screen.  I hope this makes sense.

So any help would be greatly appreciated and if you are interested and want to learn more I would be happy to collaborate with someone if they can help with the code.

Regards

Steve

There is a BlobDetection library: http://www.v3ga.net/processing/BlobDetection/

That should help you track objects via webcam fairly easily.
