wanted to ask if there is a way to use multiple USB cameras for tracking activity in different parts of a room. Not a connected/stitched tracking, more of checking person/objects/movement etc on differnent spots.
ive done a project where i used CCV Mutlicam and 6 PSEye Cameras for Room Tracking for an AV Installation.
( Version 1.5.0 (Windows - Multicam Official) CCV-1.5.exe http://ccv.nuigroup.com/#downloads )
I used the OSC Input to visualize things in VVVV - filter tracking Data etc.
For the 6 Cameras i used these drivers: https://codelaboratories.com/products/eye/driver/
The Forum is dead but you are still able to purchase the Drivers.
Im asking because ive had several issues with PSeye Cameras but have seen them on sale:
Main Problem was that the PS3 Cameras will only be found after reboot once you disconnect/connect the usb cable. Missing cameras would reset the CCV cfg. Something like that…
Does anyone have experience using multiple simple USB Cameras or even PS3 Cameras for non-precise tracking?
Maybe using multiple Logitech C920’s - would this work for tracking directly in vvvv with the image pack - open CV?
Topic not 100% just vvvv related but its been ages since ive done the project and wanted to check if theres a better way.
thx, plugin sounds great! I think it used to be a part of the image pack but only x86 - which would not be a problem.
Is this for the ClEye Driver? Ive had Problems with that driver - I needed to unplug, plug back in every Camera to be recognized by the Driver after a reboot. Do you have any experience with this problem?
I could not reach mino for the official contribution page but meanwhile here its the plug , credits and big thanks to mino | vvvv , sponsored by www.colorsound-ixd.com
You need to activate the cameras in the cl-device manager for the plug to work.
as for the restart problem i have experienced that with the image pack and the workaround i did was using textureformat and change from one format to the desired one on startup, but with this plug i did not experience any problem yet.
btw i have tested the ps3 camera this week with lattepanda and it works so for small tracking or hotspot tracking is great. PS3Eye_20150626.zip (18.3 KB)
