Simon,
Perhaps you could also look at pix_opencv for blob tracking and edge detection. It should certainly be feasible. We've done something like that in Max.

This does not require heavy AI based processing nor depth cameras,
(Separately we are working on an OpenISS Pd port for more than that but it is currently not ready.)

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.
I would like to use open source software if possible.
Thanks for any insights, real world examples etc.
Best,
Simon
