Real Time Feature Point Tracking in AS3

Its a bit late, so instead of posting a long informative post about how feature point tracking works I thought I'd just upload some of my results from this evening. I think its quite exciting stuff. The image shows feature point tracking working relatively well on my pupils, and also on other facial features (the last two images). I am very pleased with the result.


A related project I have also been working on this evening is optical flow which I am close to getting 
working, here is a preview of what is to come:


Both methods are used in tracking objects in moving images and have been implemented in real time. I will post sample movies and some explanations shortly so you can play around with them yourself.

  2. Hi Vince,

    A good open source project to look at is OpenCV, I'm not sure how useful flash would be for your rovio.

    Take a look at:
