Haars Cascade for Actionscript development

Hi guys, I have an object that I want to be able to recognize in AS3. There's a port of OpenCV for AS3 already, that works with Haars cascades, so now I need to create a cascade of my object. From what I've read, I'll have to create an XML of several images (positive and negative), but I can't find a program that'll do that for Mac OS...

in my project I want to use EmguCV lib, but the function of EmguCV can not process the Bitmap object, so i have to convert Bitmap to some other type, Intptr is a choice but I really don't know how to code, the fellow code is abstract from my project like this: Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(e.width, e.height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFo...

from string of bytes to OpenCV's IplImage in Python?

Hey all, I am streaming some data down from a webcam. When I get all of the bytes for a full image (in a string called byteString) I want to display the image using OpenCV. Done fast enough, this will "stream" video from the webcam to an OpenCV window. Here's what I've done to set up the window: cvNamedWindow('name of window', CV_WIND...

OpenCV Seek Function/Rewind

Hey everyone, I've been trying to find/implement a seek and rewind function (for video (.avi)) using OpenCV in C++, but I cant find a way of doing it, other than going through the entire file once and saving each image. Is there any other way? Any help would be much appreciated; Thanks ahead of time! ...

Displaying Fourier transforms in OpenCV

Hi, I'm just learning to use OpenCV and am having a problem with using DFT. I've done a signal processing class which used MatLab, so I'm trying to go through some of the exercises we did in that class. I'm trying to get and display the FT of an image, so I can mask some of the frequencies. I'd like to be able to see the FT, so I know ho...

Synchronizing screencasting (ffmpeg) and capturing from the webcam (OpenCV)

As from my previous questions, I am trying to build a simple eye tracker. Decided to start from a Linux version (run Ubuntu). To complete this task one should organize screencasting and webcam capturing in such way that frames from both streams exactly match each other and there is the same number of frames in each of them totally. Scr...

Is there a performance advantage in using a 64bit version of openCV+Emgu instead of 32bit?

Hello, I am developing an application that processes images captured in real time by a Point Grey camera (http://www.ptgrey.com/). The Point Grey SDK is a .net wrapper and can be either 32bit or 64bit. Then to process the captured images, I'm using a wrapper for openCV called Emgu CV (http://www.emgu.com/) that comes in both 32bit or ...

Point pairs used for FindFundamentalMatrix can't be used for StereoRectifyUncalibrated

Dear SO, I'm trying to use OpenCV v2.1. Using cv.FindChessboardCorners I've found a bunch of corresponding points between two webcams. Using the function cv.FindFundamentalMat I've generated a fundamental matrix relating the two cams. But now I want to use cv.StereoRectifyUncalibrated. The documentation specifies that the same format f...

Extracting Information from Images

What are some fast and somewhat reliable ways to extract information about images? I've been tinkering with openCV and this seems so far to be the best route plus it has Python bindings. So to be more specific I'd like to determine what I can about what's in an image. So for example the haar face detection and full body detection clas...
