Hi,
I am making an object tracking application. I have used Emgucv 2.1.0.0 to load a video file to a picturebox. I have also tried taking the video stream from a web camera successfully.
Now, I want to draw an unfilled square on the video stream while it is playing using a mouse and then track the object enclosed by the unfilled square as the video continues to stream.
This is what people have suggested so far:-
(1) .NET Video overlay drawing(DirectX) - but this is for C++ users, the suggester said that there are .NET wrappers, but I had a hard time finding any.
**broken link removed**
(2) DxLogo sample
DxLogo – A sample application showing how to superimpose a logo on a data stream. It uses a capture device for the video source, and outputs the result to a file. Sadly, this does not use a mouse.
http://directshownet.sourceforge.net/about.html
(3) GDI+ and mouse handling - this area I do not have a clue.
(4) one person said this - when I said I will track any object inside the unfilled square
" It should be noted that systems such as EmguCV are designed to recognise predefined items within a scene (such as a licence plate number) rather than an arbitory feature within a scene. " He also said "search for research papers on edge detection and the like (in combination with a library such a EmguCV) is probably a good start. (You also may want to sneak a peek at an existing application such as http://www.pfhoe.com/ to see if it fits your needs)"
(5) Another person in the industry said to read on template matching
(6) Somone from CODEPROJECT said to use this -->> http://code.google.com/p/opencvdotnet/ .
(7) Dshownet - .NET wrapper for DirectShow
I really do not know what to do
Any help as to using the mouse to draw on a video is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Many Thanks
