Class project
Oct 5th, 2009, 6:56am  
I am starting a school project and was having some problems.  I want to use the camera to input my hands to make things move on the screen.  Does anyone have an idea of how to do this?  That would help a lot.

1) i think you're in the wrong section Smiley

2) you can do that in multiple ways: probably the easiest is frame differencing (look here)  while the robust way is optical flow.

Personally I think the right way mostly depends on what you have to do.
ie. if you need control a button, slider or similar you can use a light-weight, frame difference based system (like this one or this one).
on the other side, when you need a more detailed control a full implementation of an optical flow algorithm is way better (like this)
