Re: [Flashcoders] Webcam color tracking
Hey guyz, Thank you all for the replies. I've sorta hacked it... Before I do the getColorBoundsRect, I now do a threshold on the image to make the colors that are close to what my LED looks like, 100% red. I then do the getColorBoundsRect on the red and that works just fine. Now I'll try different colors of LEDs to see which works best and to make sure there's nothing else in the camera's eye that has the same color. It would indeed be great to see how Grant did his Mister Glove... But I'm guessing it's somewhere along the line of what I'm doing here...

Re: [Flashcoders] Webcam color tracking
Serge, Though I can not provide the source code, I have seen Grant Skinner demo an application that tracks LEDs. You can see it here: http://incomplet.gskinner.com/index2.html#mister In particular, at the link above select MISTER glove video. Grant explained the details. Perhaps others on this list recall details? g On 9/12/06, Serge Jespers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well... I need to be able to track a LED light.

Re: [Flashcoders] Webcam color tracking
No, I still used getColourBoundsRect. It works OK until you get more than one object of the same colour - then you end up getting big rectangles which span the distance between the two, which is bad. You could *probably* get around this with some kind of quadtree-type algorithm, it's something I've been meaning to look into, and will probably be going back to soon. (As soon as I get five spare minutes...) Also - Grant Skinner claims to have solved the problem, but AFAIK, he's only posted videos, not working examples, so I don't know what approach he used.

Serge Yeah, I've done some work with it. The trick is to apply some contrast filters to reduce the colour depth, and be a bit more picky about getting your source colour. You can do the getColourBoundsRect thing, but it's still pretty inaccurate though.

Re: [Flashcoders] Webcam color tracking
So... euhm.. no one? Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has already tried webcam color tracking inside Flash 8 or 9...? So not the difference motion tracking that you see everywhere but tracking one particular color. Or I should say range of colors... I started out with getColorBoundsRect but that doesn't seem to be accurate enough or I just picked the wrong color... So... 1) Has anyone done it before? And if so, do you have a source laying around that could get me on the right track? 2) How does one select the correct color?
