Visual Studio & Color Tracking

vvvv beta general
#1

Hey guys,

I have a little camera, OpenCv, VS2005, and i want to detect a few objects.

So i asked uncle google: “hey can you give me a color tracker?”
google :“yeah, visit vvvv”.

So i found the freeframe colortracker plugin".

My Question:
Is there any chance to use the plugin within my Visual Studio Project? (Im not very experienced in programming)

Thanks in advance,
M

Think it is here Sourceforge.

What you want to do with the tracked colours?

if you want to integrate the colortracker-code in your own software you have several options:

  • your software uses directshow for video?
    then use the DSFreeFrameWrapper.ax, a directshow-filter that allows you to wrap around freeframe plugins and thus use any freeframe plugin in a directshow graph. that is the same as vvvv does it.

  • your software uses freeframe already
    for using the trackers offered with vvvv you’d need to implement the Extended FreeFrame Specification in your freeframe host. should not be too hard.

  • neither directshow nor freeframe
    vvvvs trackers are based on openCV. so you may just want to have a look at the colortrackers relevant code: mostly in the
    processFrame24Bit()
    function to see what parts of openCV it uses. and how.
