Searching for a starting point - 7seg number recognition in pd
by Luigi 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

hi list i would like to ask more advanced programmers for a good starting point. I would like to do a minimalistic OCR for 7 segment numbers in PD. The picture would be captured by a simple webcam. What is a good way to realize that ?? I found some perl-scripts that seem to do that, or some OCS software that one could send the images to. What do you think, how complicated would it be to write an external that does that ? Help is very much appreciated bye luigi

finding funding to the PdCon09
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hey all, Since the PdCon09 in São Paulo is coming up this summer, I thought I'd start a thread on finding ways to get funds to get as many people there are possible. For example, I plan on applying to the Jerome Foundation for a travel grant, it only applies to New York City and Minnesota: http://www.jeromefdn.org/. I think the Europeans and Canadians have much better options. Anyone know of other options for Americans? Or anyone think I could use my Austrian citizenship to get a travel grant from the Austrian gov't? I know the Brazil crew is working to fund as many people as possible, like they did in Montreal, but there is never enough grant money to pay all the expenses, so helping each other get grants from other sources will definitely help the whole effort. I was also thinking, perhaps we could stick a "Donate" nag screen on the next release of Pd-extended, with all of the donations going directly to the PdCon09. .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice, it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith

Many outlets and/or inlets
by Isidro Gonzalez 21 Feb '09

Hello: Probably a naif question, sorry by that. Is there a way to enlarge an object´s box for the case where there are lots of inlets and/or outlets and so they loose individual visibility? Many thanks Isi

Hi Alexandre, all, AFAIK we applied to funders in Canada only but we sent invitations letters that would have been useful for participants that were able to apply from other sources.

Re: [PD] pd-extended on Ubuntu 8.1 Intrepid
by Ilias Anagnostopoulos 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hello Fraenk, > One more question: are there any risks of conflicts, if I install > severeal versions of pd? > Specially one pd-extended and one pd-vanilla.- When I first got Ubuntu-Studio, it came with PD installed by default in a package named puredata. This is just the core of PD. I installed PD-extended without removing puredata and it worked with no noticeable problems. However, the packages of PD-extended will not let you have both vanilla and extended installed at the same time if both done through synaptic. This is because apparently there are conflicts which I have personally not experienced since when I was running them both, I wasn't using PD much anyway. You can try for yourself and see. If you NEED both versions for some reason (highly unlikely, I just did it cause I couldn't be bothered to look into it at that point), go for it and let us know what happened. If you NEED a STABLE version, just pick one of the two. They both are the same core, but PD-extended gives you a whole bunch of extra things such as libraries and externals and so on, already compiled, in the same package. If you meant installing PD vanilla 0.41 and PD-extended 0.40.3, that's a different story, and the short answer is that it depends on how you compile it, otherwise you just stick to what the packages give you. Take care, Ilias

Re: [PD] color tracking in Gem/Pd-extended?
by Ben Baker-Smith 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

How will you avoid gating the color of the object you're trying to track as well? To use your method below I'd suggest using some combination of [separator] and [pix_background] to create a mask so that [pix_blob] (or the color gate, depending on the setup) only affects new objects introduced into the environment. That's very incomplete suggestion, but I don't have pd in front of me right now to toy with examples. Best of luck, let me know if you get a patch together, I'd like to see it. -Ben >Wondering the best solution for color tracking in Pd-extended.
