Webcam motion track test

My first motion tracking test video - me in front of a webcam.

Here is a sample video of me in front of my webcam moving around like an idiot. I reckon I can calibrate this better anyway, but being this close to the camera with quite varied lighting are poor conditions for motion tracking anyway, and the results are great!

The circles with crosses are the blobs that my Max patch has assigned, and you'll notice that they follow segments of my body very well, and more often than not they also survive clashing with others, so long as the clash is brief they overlap well. This is something I had just written off as a quirk that I would have to put down as a flaw in my project.

There are messy elements:
- The smaller blobs can interfere with the data and slow the application down
- The blobs are labelled according to size. With overhead footage I am hoping I can isolate the largest blobs (people) and ignore small light flickers that interfere. If I struggle with this then it will be hard to select people.

looks great! I´m trying something with Motiontracking for building a musical instrument, but I struggle. How have you done it?
