http://thenerdshow.com Tiny C program for fast, color-based simultaneous tracking and targeting. Keeps track of multiple objects for markerless optical motion capture (mocap), gestures, character animation and targeting. Should work on live webcam feeds with no external libraries or dependencies.

The algorithm we came up with is a very simplistic and efficient synthesis of blob and kernel-based tracking methods analogous to a bastardization of bayesian probability calculus with Bhattacharyya coefficients; it makes more sense on screen than in print. ;)

Right now we don't have a live cam, so we're using ffmpeg libraries avcodec / avformat to unwrap the various video codecs and gain access to raw video frames in files like.avi, .mpg and .mov. Outputs a list of tuples or a video stream containing markers.

  • Did you write a paper on this?

  • Looks nice, says nothing. Have you any paper andor reality vs. video capture (telling io delay ) ?

  • are you going to release the code or what
