Motion Tracking
May 5th, 2008, 5:23pm  
Hi, I'm pretty new to processing and to scripting at all, but I know this thing is possible. I'm only wondering if it's possible to do it in processing.

The idea is to be able to track only the hand in front of the webcam. Depth would be nice to be added but I think you need two or special camera's for that and that's not my main focus at this moment. The most difficult part with this is that I don't want the user to wear anything, so no IR leds or anything.

Maybe the easiest way is color tracking, but than your face will be tracked as well, or am I wrong?

So does anyone know if this is possible? Or has anyone made something like this already?

THANKS!

You can give a try with the Face Detection Library (based on OpenCV) and use a hand trained haarcascade xml instead of the face one.
