First of all hello to everyone as I am a very new user here.
I am a newbie to cpp but as I have experience in programming in other languages I dont find it too difficult. I was told about oF by my friend and I am really impressed how people are utilizing this for different purposes. Kudos to all.
Anyway I am really new to computer vision and I aim to learn object recognition. Please guide me where do I start , small examples . Any help would be appreciated :). My point is to do realtime object recognition :). Thanks
object recognition can be achieved a number of ways
you can look for a particular colour
you can look for a particular shape (this is where AAM’s can help) - the problem is there’s not really any good math for dealing with the shape of things
you can train a Haar cascade or something similar to find what you are looking for, but you need >3000 positive example images to train a good one.
in addition to what damian mentioned, there’s also hu moments (rotation / translation independent statistics for images and contours), template matching (for finding sub images in larger images), pch (piecewise contour histogram)… I’d take a look at the opencv book that has some good information on this.

what are you hoping to recognise?

Hi damian,zach
Thanks for the reply.
My purpose of learning oF is to learn computer vision. I have seem some videos of object recognition. I have seen some videos like (http://code.google.com/p/aam-opencv/). I have been impressed by the work. I want to start something like that using OF. I have no purpose but to learn vision through OF. So please just give me some links, examples, work done by people who have documented their work, So that I go in right direction. And as I said, I want to learn CV out of my own interest in this subject. :). Please give me some link for gettiing started.
if you’r interested in aam also have a look here: http://code.google.com/p/aam-library/ but as zach already mentioned - there are many other ways in object detection as this is a hot topic in computer vision. the opencv book is definitely a good entrance into this topic.
Hello everyone,
I am very very sorry to be late. Actually I was traveling and my computer had some problem. in these time I was going through different of programs. I am loving it.
By the way coming to my problem, I have some particular patterns. I want to detect these patterns in real time. Please guide me. Thanks :).
you should provide us some more infos about what you wanna do otherwise it’s hard to point you in the right detection. anyway, a good starting point would be to look into the opencv examples here http://forum.openframeworks.cc/t/opencv-basics—sources-for-beginners/2738/0 (or opencv in general). there is a template matching example which maybe does what you’r searching for.
