Chroma key and thresholding in Flash (Pixel Bender), revised

>>Demo<< (Click to toggle filter)

source (Flex project including pbk)

I have been very busy since the last few weeks… so the chroma key filter was put aside for a long time until today :)

I have used conditional compile in the filter to avoid having if-else in the runtime, hopefully can increase performance… Anyone volunteer to measure it and post the different?

Libraries for head/face/eye tracking

December 6th, 2009  |  Published in FYP

Here below are the libraries I am researching. But I have not made a decision to use exactly which one yet…

faceAPI

Web page: http://www.seeingmachines.com/product/faceapi/

This is a proprietary library that can track face position in real-time. It is available for free for non-commercial users (I may try to request it. see its FAQ). It is a DLL with C/C++ interface.

ehci (Enhanced human computer interface)

Project host: http://code.google.com/p/ehci/

A open source project, can be used as a head-tracking library. It is in C++ and there is a python binding. Note that it depends OpenCV.

Some other libraries I have read:
