hi oschatz,
thanks a lot for your detailed answer! you got some points there…
i am aware that tracking different objects moving around would result in a lot of points and calculation, so give a rather slow system or even kill it …
my project is actually not directly about tracking moving objects. its more a about pattern recognition in still images.
i actually was heading in the direction of “tracking” - fonts and doing this manipulating them.
therefore a too rough approximation doesnt help.
conceptually for me it is really important to get “what the computer understands” out of the image.
taking the video-output of contour is an option to get the shapes but then in the end its just a tresholded image…
For now i will try like you suggested to work around it with approaching my objects with arrangements of different shapes … this could give some interesting “accidents”…
many thanks for your patient help anyway!
p.s.: still i would put the “fill-for-contour”-node on the vvvvishlist.
(maybe i should start a little competition: i offer some best-bavarian-beer “grüner august” for the winning-patcher! ;) )
