Video Motion Tracking with Java and JMF

A basic video motion tracking program: tracks moving objects seen in a webcam or video, drawing a rectangle around them. Applications: surveillance, interactive games, using motion for mouse input, etc., etc.

Written in Java. Used JMF for video input. C++ would be better for performance, but Java allowed me to finish the project in a short amount of time.

hi, I'm working on final year project on motion detection and object tracking , I finished the work that's related to motion detection but I haven't done anything in object tracking, could you send me your code if possible?

thanks

@muqatil80 hi there. You can download the code from my website (displayed in the video) :)

Hi,

JMF is supposed to be old/shit and only supports mpeg-1 so the video quality is what, what codecs did you use because there are no open source Java based mpeg-2 decoders, did you write one (definitely not in JMF!!) ?

There is a Java based theora codec which I am trying to wade through....very difficult though.

How did you get the camera input to pc, over ethernet (rtp ?), usb ?

Hope you put the code up for download as I am trying to do something similar and I need help !!

@donnyab Hi. For live feed I just used a Video for Windows URL: "vfw://0", and for recorded video I just used AVI, but I don't remember what kind of compression was wrapped in the AVI. I didn't put any work into using different video codecs; I just wanted to experiment with motion tracking algorithms. When I get around to posting the code it will be on my website (just google tech joelbecker).

Great job!  is it possible to publish the sors code?

@KaloyanMironov Hi. Thank you. I'm considering publishing the source once I organize it a bit better, on my website (joelbecker net)

Can software made compactible with cellphone?

can u tel me wat is running average algorithm based on motion detection

@ThereIsOneTruth

Thank you for sharing the code, that's exactly what I needed for my thesis.
