Progress Update

Nov. 25

1. People Detection

Used Kinect to track people from above.

• Used depth thresholds to set a range of heights
• Calculated and displayed centroids of contour blobs
  • Reference: https://forum.openframeworks.cc/t/finding-center-of-opencv-blobs/11836/8

2. Clock Mechanism

Display real-time clock.

• Smoothed the movement of the second hand by using the frame rate

3. Shadow Effects

• Turn contour into filled shape (then found just use blob will be easier)
• Draw the shape in Fbo (pixel)
• Manipulate pixel by Dilate, medianBlur, then blur.
• Draw to texture and draw the Fbo out
