Back at it with color tracking and the gang. This time are sights are set on driving the streets of NYC in a virtual car. We had several immediate problems that made it impossible to work outside. It began raining and we were using an auto gain webcam which was making our lovely neon pink squares appear white.
We grabbed a better camera and headed to upper floors of Tisch to shoot in a larger location. The code was riddled with problems and made it nearly impossible to get satisfactory shots. Nevertheless, Winslow had an idea brewing and was able to stitch together a story of a class field trip.

Color Tracking Fun! part 2
The following week we all met again and decided to have a dance party. We invited some of our friends and danced in front of a short throw projector projecting party videos from amongst the ISH. Music by Mylo, "I'm back".

This time the code was changed to calculate the angle between the two green squares and display the images of various heads onto our bodies. We created a make shift head gear device out of black foam and rubber bands, to which the green squares were attached.

Color Tracking Fun!
After working with blobs and the OpenCV library to create "Granpa Loves Valentine's Day", Winslow Porter and I combined forces with Meredith Hasson and Angela Chen to tackle color tracking.
Using Dan O’Sullivan's color tracking code as a starting point, we began to develop a simple and sometimes reliable way of determining the location of two green squares from the pixel data of a webcam. From the location of each square we can then determine the distance between the squares and even the angle of a line drawn between the two squares.

But what to do with such a thing? After a quick brainstorm, the act of fish-story telling, specifically the phrase, "a [fish] this big!" would be captured in augmented video and a simple story would be told.

The code can be found here along with an awesome inside look from Angela Chen.
