Infrared object track

sofia

Hey everyone! I'm trying to track a white object with the kinect v1 infrared vision. Any idea how to do that? I have two IR leds illuminators pointing to the white object in order to make it more visible to the kinect, but I need it to recognize the object. I've seen a bunch of examples of color tracking, but they don't work with the IR.

I would really appreciate your help. I've spent hours searching for how to do this, but I'm quite new to processing and kinect, so your help would be precious.

Hi, I've found this example, might be of use:

https://forum.processing.org/one/topic/kinect-and-opencv-blob-tracking.html

You'd have the change the depth channel the example uses to the IR channel.

Also another example of using OpenCV library to do a simple contour blob track.

http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/opencv/opencv_blobs.html

From this example you need to feed the IR image into OpenCV. The first link as some example onto how to do that.

OpenCV will give you a blob location ( your white object ), that you can use.

Hope this help !
