Hi!

I want to "track" something (vehicle or people in motion) in video camera (ex: webcan).
I was thinking in make a interface in C++ ou VB.net where the video camera image show me a image. When I "track (some like a square)" on my target in a image video camera, the square following the target. Look like a FLIR System when designated something.

Somebody can I help me? Where can I begin to do that?!

Thanks a lot in advance, this forum really help me!

Not a newbie project, thats for sure!
Hoo yesss!!

Exactly, but I dont want a information in corner of screen (battery, frame and etc) not know...
You've got some reading/studying to do. All of the info you need is out there. If you're not willing to write it all yourself, check out RoboRealm, the Intel video library or M$'s robot framework.
Try looking into "quantitative imaging" - you can use MatLab (among other tools) to do this, but it generally requires a pretty large amount of processing power (i.e. an additional processor apart from the Arduino Mega)
Thanks for helping guys!

I was searching in internet and find www.processing.org
Is a good way to begin?
OpenCV. Has tracking functions built in.

If your looking to track something like a person, that is way more complicated. Look up optical flow.
REAAALLLLYYYY THANKS FOR THIS!!!!
Helly good link!! Thanks my friend!

If you find any good resources please post its a really interesting topic! For the more advanced users, would this be capable with a ATMega based system or would it be over its limits?

 

Possibly this could help haven't dove too deep into it yet but it might have some good info.

Hey Jeff!

Nice to see this topic can do a little help to other people.
Sorry but I needed to abort the project because of my study and work.
Soon as possible, maybe in the middle of this year, I can continue this project.
And thanks for the link!

Yeah school is really bogging me down, but hey this stuff is part of "school"! I wanted to repost anyways and mention that I found that AVR's cannot video process to great extent.  Not enough for streaming video that is, I should've known -durr-.  I've checked out a bunch of sites and for your application there is a program called OpenCV that would probably do what you want it to do, just do a google search for it or youtube it and see.
