Motiontracking like in AE

[greitzlechner]

Is it possible to have "Motion Tracking" similar to AE in Smode?

Hello,

There is nothing such as that for the moment, sorry...

Best regards,

Hello,
I'm trying to find a solution for 2D face tracking (or some kind of motion tracking) on video input.
Is there a way to implement openCV face analysis in a shader ? or in a python script ?
Is it possible to pass some texture in argument to those ?

I am currently using a program called 'SplitCam' to create a virtual Direct Show signal, that can both be opened in Smode and in Max Msp. I guess there is at least 1 frame of latency.
Max Msp does the motion tracking with openCV and sends infomations back to Smode via OSC.

Do you have another lead or ideas ?
Thanks

Hello,
You can implement OpenCV inside a python script
but you can't pass texture to python,
you should use the OpenCV capture implementation or try to share using https://github.com/spiraltechnica/Spout-for-Python

you need to be aware that Smode need to run the script every frame and if the script is too processive intensive it will slow down the frame rate
You should avoid an infinite while loop for example

so for now the solution you have is maybe the best for the performance

ps: if a lot of people ask and need this we can implement the NVIDIA Maxine Augmented Reality SDK
