PANNO, I don't know exactly what it is, but I feel like it's something rrreally cool! Is this the new Webcam DLL in Action? What is my Fish doing there? Has it become a Pirhana and is trying to bite in your Finger?
Please describe what it does!
Please describe what it does!
no no i give him feed and them he get bigger and bigger and
then crashed he into many particels and over the screen runs blood ! i've got 10 point's LOL
yes this is my special webcam dll in action
i am working on because motion capture is a haevy act (for me)
look at this !
this is a link for the ps2

Sounds good :) Yes, Motion Tracking is difficult when you don't use special Markers. You could use infrared LEDs - they are invisible to the human eye but can be seen by the camera, check out conrad.de for cheap LEDs.
looks neat
Wow Panno,
Eye Toy from Blitz? Good man - I like it!!!!
Keep us posted as this would be a great fun thing for Christmas!!!

i will do all my best to release it at start december
This is very worthy. Good luck! If you can get it all happening nicely it could be huge fun.
hm motion tracking is a hard way
command "HIT" 80% implementet
command "SPEED" 0.1 % implementet
please wait a while

new pic now with buttons and the best
!it works!!!
but 62 millisecs per frame grrrrr
i need a inline asm and pointer .Please !
hit is ok but the movement sux at the moment
ps: a bit do dark here

Hey Panno, I just tried your old Camera DLL with my new ultracheap Camera. First it gave me a real low framerate, but then I edited the source a bit and now I got about 15 FPS or something!
I edited it the following way:
callDll("pbca3d","START") is called only once, before the main loop.
callDll("pbca3d","ENDCAP") is called only once, after the main loop.
callDll("pbca3d","GIVEIMAGE") is called every Frame. Then I use the following waiting Code:
a=0
while a=0 and keydown(1)=0
a=peekbyte(out_bank,0)
wend
Now it works perfectly!!! It is the fastest solution I found yet, perfect!!!
The good news is: this new cheap cam doesn't fail like the other cams I had before. I already wrote a little Source that allows to use TV Remote Control as a Mouselike Input device. This works up to 3 Meter Distance, I can draw Pictures on the Screen using the TV-Remote-Control :)
(only had to mirror the x-axis)
I will now think about a simple solution to determine the Depth of the Marker to use it as a 3D Cursor.
EDIT: ARRRGH! There's just another Problem popped up :/ (See PM @ blitzforum)

Panno,
Yes me too, as L Draven above, pointer=pointer+4 is highlighted in Debug with a crash.
I have a USB logitech clicksmart 310 web cam.
Is there something else I am missing?
Does this work with EyeToy?
Thanks,

Don't select the driver in the dialog box, just click okay instead.
I get a picture but it is not synched

mm the test.exe and the source both work as far as they do not crash, but the imagery I get is really distorted.

Hi PANNO
NOTHING!!! dont work!! grrr :-))

Just had an idea. You might be doing it this way already - in any case here goes :-
My idea relates to FAST motion detection. Say you are using a screen size of 800x600. Now, you don't need to test *every* pixel for movement but instead have 1 pixel per 'zone'. With the 800x600 example, if you wanted 100 zones, you'd test pixel 80,60 / 160,60 / 240,60 etc. (simply put, one pixel in every box on an invisible grid).
Then, you test each of your pixels to see if there has been a change in colour. Now, bearing in mind that on live video you're always going to get some artefacts and small colour variation, you'll need to build in a 'tolerance' setting so that zones aren't triggered accidentally (analog sources generally have that 'creep' thing as well).
Now, the clever part. You can then decide what direction something is moving by comparing currently active zones with previously active zones. For example if the zone at 0,80 is active now, and the zone at 0,0 was active before, then you can deduce that the movement is *probably* heading from left -> right. You could remember as many 'previous poses' as you needed to get a good result. You could also gain accuracy by remembering the different colours moving through different zones, and vector math / probability tables (any human figure is always going to move in similar ways).
The great thing about this method is that it does NOT require a uniform background colour, provided the camera never moves (background pixels will be fixed, hence they will never trigger movement).
Hope that's of some help :)

Panno,
I am using XP.
I have a Logitech clicksmart 310 camera, works perfectly with its own software to do all sorts of things.
It is set at 320,240.
I get a picture and I can see movement but the picture is made of diagonally out of synch bits of picture. I'll try and post a picture.
My output is a lot worse than the picture shown by Defiance...

Hey PANNO, I tried it and it works a charm on WinME with Creative WebcamIII.
And -hohoho- I have a little toy for you kids, that is actually kinda funny :)
It's called (fanfare): TV-Remotecontrol Painting, or IRDRAW
:) All you need is a TV Remote Control and a webcam and of
course PANNOs DLL (see above). Look, me, painting:
It's really funny since the webcam image is mirrored and if
you position the cam on the Screen, it really feels like a
mirror. Colors can be choosen as well using the RC, and
there is a Button to clear the Drawing which demonstrates
it's capabilities as an input device. Tho it's a bit new and
raw to navigate this "cursor". Here the source (pasta)

L_Draven : try moving the web cam to another USB port, that's how I got mine semi-working!
Looking at the above, fantastic!
What a lot of fun can be had with this!
Well done guys!
Now if only, I could make it work on my camera... 24 bit I'll give it a try and report back.
...Er I can't seem to change the web cam colour settings...
My nVidia card doesn't do 24 bit only 16 and 32. I set it to 16 bit and...no that doesn't seem to be the problem.
Here is a picture.

IPete - maybe you can set your camera color depth (no need to set screen depth!) using the following tool:
http://ictcm.tamu.edu/Phoenix_2002/vidcap.zip
which was listed on this handy lil link list:
http://ictcm.tamu.edu/Phoenix_2002/links.html
it's from microsoft, but they even don't host it on their downloads zone anymore.

when I set the cam res to 320x240 using the lil vidcap tool I cant change the depth to 24bits. only thing it will let me select is the value '1420' .. whatever that may be...

PANNO - could you include a "Picture on Demand"-Mode?
Atm it works in a continous Mode in the Background and delivers Images "as fast as possible", but this makes the 3D rendering very slow. Would it be possible to send a request to the dll, which will then grab one image and then go in standby mode?

yes no problem
This is very cool. I just purchased an Eye Toy before I saw this post. Also, here at RISD we've started messing with video input for various stuff; people have been using video input with Director and Max/MSP, but now I get to mess with it in Blitz!

Just a Q- Was there a new version of it released Panno? I'd like to recode my motion detection so I can share it :)
I can show you my current code, but it's very very dirty as it was not planned out. I think I wanted to show you before too. :)

Hmm, I notice that most Macs, like the MacBook and iMac have built-in webcams right into the monitors. I'm sort of wondering if doing an iToy (Eye-Toy, iToy, get it?) would be worth anything doing.
Windows and Linux are cool, too, just as long as you have a good quality webcam in which to do this, and that it's supported (I even wonder what webcams are even supported for Linux).
