I uploaded some code to svn.  Google code project is here: http://code.google.com/p/gputracker

I’ll add some documentation in the days to come. I need to also make the user interface for filter chain configuration better and get the blob detection and tracking working.

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.
