hi all,
i am having trouble understanding how an idea might look as code. i would be grateful for anyone who can offer input and direction
i am using ofxcv to receive the contour of an object. i want to record it’s movement so that once this specific contour is no longer being tracked, a “shadow” is left behind that is the same shape as the contour and moves exactly how the object did in its lifetime. so if the object moves around in a bunch of irregular spirals and then it disappears, a shadow of the object is drawn and moves in the same irregular spirals, and i can just loop that movement so that once it ends it starts from the beginning again.
some specific questions i have, beyond the general “how i might do what i just described”:
- ofxcv has a tracker that i think i can use for this? i’m looking at the header file though and am not sure i completely grasp the differences between the labels (current, previous, new, dead).
- if i am interested in recording multiple objects, and having several shadows and their movements looping and possibly interacting with each other, will it be computationally expensive? are there areas i can optimize?
- better to use a depth camera over usb camera? i am doing this with controlled lighting with a usb camera right now, but don’t think it will be as uniform in other places.
thank you!
