hey,<br>In the multiblob.pd pactch that u addded (i got it ffrom svn) i cant even open it. PD crashes when i try to open the patch(infact i cant even see the window with the patch when i click on multiblob.pd). Is the camera enabled by default in this patch? (because i got a similar error when using the #camera module, crashing PD). Could u not include the #camera section? I wa thinking of getting a .mov file into te patch and trying outt he multiblob algo on it instead of a video feed from the camera(i can add the .mov part ).<br>

or should i just use the algo as seen the screen shot u gave?<br><br>Sisil.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 1:37 AM, Mathieu Bouchard <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:matju@artengine.ca">matju@artengine.ca</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

I&#39;m finally adding examples/multiblob.pd based on the screenshot of occupants-video.pd found in that screenshot. However I cut out the mask made by [# &amp;] for columns 312-319, because this was specifically for a camera that had a lot of noise in those columns.<br>


<br>
I&#39;m also merging in some parts that were never seen, from later versions of the patch (after the screenshot that you know). One of the &quot;new&quot; features is the rotation of the crosses.<br>
<br>
I&#39;m also cutting off some useless things from that patch, and I don&#39;t just mean the parts marked as &quot;unused&quot;, I mean object combinations that were detours that existed only because of the way I made the patch in the first place.<br>


<br>
Eventually, I might replace the thresholder by a complete colour detector.<br>

new screenshot at <a href="http://gridflow.ca/gallery/multiblob2.png" target="_blank">http://gridflow.ca/gallery/multiblob2.png</a><br>
<br>
new patch is at <a href="http://gridflow.ca/svn/trunk/examples/multiblob.pd" target="_blank">http://gridflow.ca/svn/trunk/examples/multiblob.pd</a> (just use svn update)<br>
<br>
I made some changes after making the screenshot: crosses aren&#39;t square anymore (change in #make_cross.pd) and the selected areas are now dotted white with some kind of 1/6 stipple.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
