Kinect Logo Tracking

adrian_pro

Hello all,

I have a project to live track a guitarist with kinect and from the neck of the guitar to emit some particles. I do not know if this is possible whit Kinectv2 and Processing? I was thinking to use a Logo or QR Code as a tracker on the end of the guitar so the kinect should track only that image and emit from that point.

There is any lib for this idea? Any suggestions?

Thank you

we did some qrcode tracking in this thread:

(didn't use the depth part of a kinect, just the image from the camera)

Thanks , but i need also movment on Z axe... since it is a guitar player he has to move free on 3 axis:) Any othe suggestions?

I don't think the Kinect has any particular built-in affordance for logo or QR code tracking. You can do that with any video camera, and would probably recognize it and process it with something like OpenCV.

Is it that you need a depth image point cloud of your guitarist, like in this video tutorial? (skip to 5:00 mins to see demo):

Or do you want augmented reality marker tracking, e.g.:
