Erik Natzke for Adobe CS4

Erik Natzke did a great project for Adobe. The website adobeartists features several artists working with cs4. Erik’s flash work is here. I love the use of light and shadow.

great augmented reality business card by toxin

I found via an even greater augmented business card implementation by jonas, a german student.

Great implementation and excellent idea.

Face / Mimik tracking in AS3

http://play.blog2t.net/terminator-salvation-realtime-machine-vision-as3/

Once again Tomek alias Og2t wrote a great flash demo. This time its about machine vision and just awesome. It’s motion based head / eyetracking with a lot of cool “hacks” like blob detection – histogram analysis – motion detection and more. Furthermore Tomek wants to provide a full framework.

This is a part of the whole video filter framework I am developing just now, the inspiration came from Joa Ebert’s Image Processing library (as far as I know, he’s cooking a complete rewrite). The full source code (including Pixel Bender kernels and examples) will be soon released on Google Code and will feature face/eye tracking/gestures and few other things (surprise!) A lot of people are very sceptic about the whole eye tracking idea, they don’t believe it’s precise enough to make any use of it – I will prove that it is, and it works! (just watch closely how it tracks my eyeballs on the video!)

I tried it, but I still prefer the camshift algorithm for face detection. Anyway: GREAT WORK!

Ar in 2d – video and demo

Here is the promised video to my augmented reality in 2d post


You can test it here

Description:

  1. Click on color
  2. Click on other color
  3. Tracking starts – white circles
  4. Try catching the black rect edges
  5. enjoy

Sourcecode:

Augmented Reality in 2D

Once again I experimented with webcam, augmented reality and flash. Inspired by camspace.com this time I wanted to see if its posible to map a video on a rect which is moved and resized by colored objects.

Tomorrow I will post a screencast and a demo. so you can see it in action. I can’t post the sources right now but I’m on it.

Help fighting childporn. no-kids.org

Today we launched a project I’m really proud of. A website that works against childporn.How does it work? You can find detailed info on no-kids.org.

Here is a summary:

You’re trusting an applet. This applet works like a limewire / frostwire client. It fakes files – pretending you’ve childporn on your pc, which you DON’T have! When a pedophile searches or tries to download such a file our website gets informed and visualises the query / download.

We just want to visualise the density of childporn usage, NOT where “these people” are located (tracking the exact position is not possible – and hopefully never will). The downloader/pedophile – downloads a fake file which PROVIDES HELP.

Edge detection in Flash

here is a good post about edge detection with the sobel-operator

Works really well, but does not fit my needs.
