A simple Color Detector >> trivial Computer Vision | Processing

Thu, 01/21/2010 - 21:20

This tiny PROCESSING application detects up to 4 colors at a time. It is possible to send the pixel coordinates of every color over the network to a client/another application to do other fancy stuff with them. Also you can record the video stream as an *.ogg file to re-use the stream later on. The app runs on Linux, MacOS and Windows because of the GSLib (gsvideo). This is definitely NO rocket science but a good basis for future work.

SVN initial import | HowTo

This is pure selfishness

svn import /homes/flier/work/ https://XXX.XXX.XXXXX-bielefeld.de/svn/XXXwww/obXXX -m "Initial Import"

Everything from work/ downwards the syntax is:
svn import your_file_folder your_svn_url -m "your_message"

Then you can check out it like: svn co your_svn_url

ARToolKit for Processing 1.0.9 on a mac running Ubuntu 9.10

Sun, 12/20/2009 - 21:14

This is my first test of tracking two ARTK markers in Processing. Processing 1.0.9 runs great on Ubuntu 9.10 (MacBook 2nd Gen). I've successfully tested the built-in isight as well as a logitech webcam for that small tracking app. Libs used: gsvideo-0.6-pre (Gstreamer processing lib), libcv (OpenCV for additional full-body or face detection), xcf4j-1.2 (Java communication framework), nyar4psg-0.2 (ARTK 4 processing). In the future this app might replace another 3D tracking system I've used in my master thesis.
