Briefing Edge Lecture
Exercise
Implement a prototype able to track a simple object in a video scene. You have full freedom to do this as you please, but bear in mind that we only ask for a prototype. The goal is to learn constituent techniques, not to make a full solution for production.
- You can set up your own scene, recording your own video, with a characteristic, brightly coloured object moving through the scene. E.g. a bright, red ball rolling on the floor.
- Start with the feature detector. Make sure that it works.
- Can you use the feature detector to detect your particular object in a still image?
- Visualise the detected object, by drawing a frame around it in the image.
- Introduce tracking only when you have a working prototype for still images.
