Blob track, "security camera"
-
Hey, could anyone suggest a workflow for a security camera simulation?
I am working on a performance that will have 2 dancers and I would like to create the effect of a red frame around each one with some letters that say "error" while they move through the stage. It would be a live video that is going to be also projected in real time.
I am using my phone camera, but I get stuck at the blob track and the framing since all the tutorials and info I find seem to be kind of old, and the video I get from the output doesn't show any blob.
My current workflow is a Video In Watcher connected to a Proyector and Eyes++, and Eyes++ to a Blob decoder. Help -
I would not have the knowledge to answer your question and no doubt someone will provide a workflow etc.
As you were saying that the video content and guides was not great, I am wondering if you had a look at the guru session on motion tracking with mark?If you use the BRAVE browser, you do not have to suffer the joy of youtube ads.
I am not sure if I am going over stuff you already know and not wanting to patronise etc.
Hope this helps.

i think i remember - a long time ago - there was a feature request to get the Eyes monitor feed as a GPU output, but that has not manifested.
it is possible to create a visual representation of the blob tracking system using Eyes++ and a lot of Limit Scale Value actors to process the outputs from Blob Decoders and control Shapes and Lines actors, maybe with a Threshold on the video feed if you want to simulate the blobs. The useful thing is that Shapes, Lines and Text Draw all have GPU inputs so you can daisychain them together to add graphics onto your video feed.
but maybe Isadora isn't the ideal solution to achieve this effect? object tracking in browsers is getting really good these days, i'm sure that a quick search around github will find an app that can do what you need instantly, then you can pull the results into Isadora with Screen Capture
