Hi list,
Maybe someone here has practical experience with the following:
I am trying to track movement (mostly humans walking around in a room), from a camera that hangs from the ceiling.
My idea is to track each person in the room as a x-y data-point (room length-room width) and use that data to influence sound or video in PD.
Is something like this feasible? I am open to solutions for linux or macOS. The motion tracking can also be an external program that communicates with PD via OSC or similar.
[pix_multiblob] was written by students exactly for this purpose (20 years ago,...). it doesn't do any labelling though. you can use [pix_blobtracker] to get a rough labelling.
OpenCV based solutions can of course be much more elaborate...
