Image Recognition
Feb 21st, 2008, 12:23pm  
Hi folks.

I'm looking to do some basic image recognition (recognising a square shape for example) as part of my course at uni. What I was wondering was if this is capable in Processing. What I'm aiming to do is take a video feed or more likely a snapshot from the video feed, and analyse it to see if theres a particular shape in that image.

Would this be doable in Processing?

Thanks,
Tom

it sure is doable.
here is a link to get you started with image processing.
you can also use some libraries that already do most of the work for you

(end of the article has a simple pattern recognition algo)
