Hello World
May 30, 2008
Hello World. the default WordPress title is quite fitting. This blog is meant to document my google summer of code project. I am working on implementing gpu accelerated blob tracking for nuigroup. NUIgroup is awesome community made up from people around the world sharing a common interest in natural user interfaces and next generation human computer interaction.
I have started coding and am working on adding camera support for a couple of different camera types. USB and ieee1394 work great on windows through DSLib and the CMU driver. I have gotten firewire support to work on OSX and Linux as well through libdc1394 but I still have quite some work to do with the cameras. I will see how far I can get this weekend. I am getting eager to write some glsl code for the image processing.
I will upload some code to svn after playing a bit more with the various camera interfaces so that people can actually use it with the hardware they have.
