The problem
- Track points in a dark room
- Real time
- Generate graphic shapes
The solution
- Manage the lighting problem with white objects and controlled light additions
- Adjust lights and contrasts live with a mini serial controller
- Create a real-time application with the C++ OpenFrameworks framework
- Analyze camera pixels with the OpenCV library
- Send the data to the sound program written in Pure Data, via OSC.
Things I’ve Learned
- Video tracking with OpenCV
- Video filters with OpenCV (so hard!)
- Noise generators with Pure Data
