Hey Olsen, I really like the movement of those camera creatures, they
really seem to have personality, almost alive. I think that's tricky
to do with computers.

And Yves, its great to see you putting all that work into the opencv
stuff, I am looking forward to seeing what people do with it.

hehe, excellent, a good sense of humor and what pd is exactly made for..

you can check out in pix_opencv 0.2 the new objects :

pix_opencv_hu_compare or pix_opencv_pgh_compare : contours detection, allows you to detect a form in the incoming video stream.

pix_opencv_camshift : Continuously Adaptive Mean-shift object tracker ( based on a hue histogram )..

just try the help patches for now, documentation is on the way..

saludos, sevy

buenas i wanted to let you know about an art installation i did recently.
the installation is using pd pix_opencv and firmata on 2 ubuntu
boxes - it's running since ~3 month 6 days a week so far almost
flawlessly. a video can be found : http://www.vimeo.com/5836740 if anyone interested in or around zürich - the show is up until the
4. october at the museum of design in zürich. i would also like to thank pd-people for help & providing these
nice pieces of software! thanks & greets olsen

don't forget to thank Lluis, it's mainly him that started the open cv thing, i just joined recently ( although there were some things in that direction in PiDiP already, it couldn't be seriously called computer vision )

Ah of course, can't forget Lluis! I was just going by the svn commits.
