Object tracking using AS3

Using openCV as computer vision development engine is quite usual, while using AS3 to recognize objects captured from webcam is developed seldom.

The reason of that shortage is due to the lacking of appropriate algorithms. In AS3 objects can not be respectively recognized through colors or shapes before. Fortunately through combination of some kinds of image processing functions, we could still be able to find out the exact way of representing objects under webcam, just as processed images shown below.

This progress provides AS3 more potential to build up interactive prototypes through webcam and normal surfaces with kind of semantic objects laid on. Thus the AS3’s abilities of building up flexible interfaces may be well used in afterward works.
