A friend and I have started working on movement tracking with webcams in DBPro. We recorded two videos simultaneously from different perspectives hoping to track an object in 3D.
So far, we have managed to load in a pre-recorded video sequence and then track the centre of an orange football, and it's x and y radius as they appear on screen.
The ultimate plan is to make something that can handle dual webcam input in real time... and have a 3D tracking utility that we can use with ease... even in DarkBASIC Pro. We're prototyping the the stuff we'll need in DB at the moment, to prove to ourselves we can do it from our recorded video. Then we'll port the code into something faster and try and make a .dll for DBPro. It's pretty ambitious, but hey... we both study engineering...
My friend, Jim, is new to DBPro but he's pretty experienced in C++ etc. I've been around here for a while, but I don't know how to use memblocks. I was wondering whether anyone knew how I could get colour values from an image quickly? Our program currently takes about 3min to process our short 2min video clip! I'm using the point() command as our main bit of processing, but it's incredibly slow to process!!
