Quoted: Switching to OpenCV 2.0 with VS2005

I’m using OpenCV for some tests, and for some reasons (freelance gigs and Symbian SDK) using MS Visual Studio. As new and shiny OpenCV 2.0 is out I decided to switch to it. As it happen, one absolutely have to read buried in the download section readme, before doing anything.
The thing is, OpenCV 2.0 doesn’t include lib files for VS. They have to be built by user.
So here is step by step retelling of readme:
1. Rename your old OpenCV installation to save it, just in case
2. Download and install OpenCV 2.0a
3. Download and install CMake Read More

Approaches for hands detection using openCV

[Image from internet, any copyright conflict please notice me]

As far as in my mind, there are three approaches that people have taken to detect hands using openCV, though not all of them have been tested by myself (a little shame). Read More

Coming soon: A review of openCV detection & recognition

architecture planning@smashingmagazine

As these are mostly asked questions about using openCV to detect and recognise all kinds of subjects such as colours or hands, a review which includes tutorials, progresses and examples (if possible) would be published shortly…

Training and objects recognition

object recognition training

Conclusively there are two ways of objects recognition, which are

  • combining simple shapes’ recognition to detect complicated objects;
  • using pre-trained data to match objects if they are as set.

Pattern recognition and applications

the pattern cube

Quite much work has been doing to improve accuracy of pattern recognition, to enable computer applications being sufficiently intelligent facing this dynamic world. ARtoolkit is one of them. By training computers to recognize patterns as shown above, i have opportunities to shift my attention from recognition to applications, which means, representation forms of recognition affect interaction.

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.
