Are Arbitrary Glyphs Possible?

Skip to comments   Jump To End

Is there a way to add to the library of recognized glyphs? There are 4 pre-defined glyphs in the API. I would like to create an environment that uses about a dozen different glyphs. Does anyone know if there is any way to do that?

Thanks!

Hey Hit lad,

BTW... Where in NZ are you from?

I'm up in Whangarei...

Hi Tameion and Hitlad,

Here's a brilliant guy named Zdenek Kalal who created arbitrary object recognition in real time that works on laptops. It's open source and called Predator. Here's a link to his methodology on a Google Tech talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmG_FjG4Dy8

Here's a link to his site with exes and source code: http://info.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/Z.Kalal/tld.html

This should be relatively easy to build into the EZ-Script me thinks....

Best,

Bill

Hi, Tameion; hi, Bill.

@Tameion - I'm afraid I'm rather far from you: I'm on the South Island but I'm from even further away (the States).

@Bill - Thanks for the info on Predator. According to the website, it can only track one object at the moment although it's an arbitrary object so it's pretty impressive nonetheless:) If using glyphs is ok (which it is for me), there's something called the ARToolkit, which can track multiple markers and allow augmented reality stuff to happen with 3D models (http://www.hitl.washington.edu/artoolkit/).

Thanks for the feedback!
