ir tracking to trigger start playing different audio files.

Hi,

i will make a new instrument that starts playing by just moving by or evan more accurat with ir reflecting tapes on the moving fingers.

It should track at least 4 different blob signals from a camera and use them to trigger the start of playing different audio files, depending on the coordinat parameters of the blobs.

Just found this possibility here: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspb … e/#imgproc

its called: Image.detectBlobs()

But i am just guessing and i dont know whats the best way solve this. Is there a good way with the arduino? How would you try it?

It should work in relativly realtime.

Please, i am still new to this and if you got suggestions or good example projects for that let me know!

You should Google ‘image processing for arduino’ - maybe add the word ‘blob’. Many threads cover this subject.

Many threads imply the AVR base Arduino is not powerful enough, and that the ARM based Raspberry PI is. I personally don’t know, but the link you provided is for the PI.

Additionally, if you’re really interested in this project, get some hardware and get started developing and testing.
