This summer, under the direction
of Dr. Lobo and Dr. Shah at UCF, I am working on a computer vision system which
will track a person dancing. The system will deduce basic 3D information about
the position of the person's limbs and create customizable MIDI signals based
on the person's movements for use in controlling electronic instruments and
sound modules.
Current Results
Thus far I have implemented
tracking of the head, hands and feet of the dancer. This tracking works for the
first sixty or so frames of my data before failing. The red boxes around these
limbs indicate where they have been found. I have also implemented best-fit
lines over the detected skin areas, which appear as white lines within the
green regions.
