Motion Tracker | part 2

Motion tracker | part 2

This is a quick post on my Motion Tracking research progress. I’ve added some customizations to track functions, also much smoother object moving. Still no object edge processing yet. Thinking on how to do this more useful. Canny Edge Detector is cool but not sure it is a good idea to merge it inside this project. One of ideas was to implement Convex Hull to determinate object bounding but it’s not really accurate…
Hope I’ll have more ideas and time after my vacation ;)
Here is what we have for now (use controls to adjust results):
Camera Motion Tracker (You will need flash player 10 and web camera)
And couple of videos how it works for me:
Flash Motion Tracking | part 2
Multi object Motion tracking in Flash

    Nice one Eugene, I like how you mark the direction and distance and with arrows. Is there a debug mode or an option to view the processing steps, just to see the blobs etc. It would give a better idea how to adjust the parameters. I am working on the filter chain processing system, will try to publish the source at the end of this week on my blog. Good luck with progress!

    hey,
    saw your code its very nice.
    similar to other motion tracking stuff but i agree that the arrows are a nice touch.
    just wanted to know if you could pass the code on.?
    id love to take a look at it and kick back anything i could add.
    let me know.

    Eugene,

    nice work ! currently I am exploring similar direction. I just wonder if you would share the code ? You could contact me at eliu AT netstarsoft.com. I will do my best to add value to the code.

    Thanks

    Eugene,

    There’s some applications that would be interesting use to. Some tracking combining streaming data into a flash server using Red5 per instance. A nice gaming app using A.R. I would like to chat w/ you about that.

    Greetings from Brazil.

    Eugene,

    Is it possible to release this class on you google code repository please?

    I would love to explore it for a project I have in mind.

    Thanks for the great work.

    Cheers

    I was wondering if you had some good book or online tutorial to learn how to do something like that. How to use properly the camera object , something to do with webcam motion tracker. Sorry for my poor english. I’m trying to learn.
    Thank you for your time.

    hi eugene,
    I’m doing an artistic project in Lisbon (I’m portuguese) and your project seems to be what I need to develop my idea. My skils in flash are not enough to achieve that result.
    Please let me know what can I do to have the source files.
    Thank you very much.
