Hy you all smart guys, I've been already six hours searching some right objects able to read "artoolkit" markers. The only "relevant" stuff I found was this Japanese page: 

http://www.cc.kyoto-su.ac.jp/~hirai/softwares/index-j.html

 but it is a bit hard to understand this all ,] (the only thing I google translated is that it is not Intel friendly)

Would be sure great be able to handle running "ar" principe in Max/MSP Jitter, but this time I'm only trying to:

..,be able to read markers just like: "is there", "is not there" > "is there "object" A (with marker A).. than some action. object B = other action.

Perhaps you already know some better and faster way how to track "cards" than this way. Im sure there is some library ready for that.

Im preparing just really small presentation and need to start some videos by showing the right card (token) to camera.

PS: It looks that it is much easier to use Qua.Compo. or VVVV for this stuff, but I need to stay with Jitter.

artoolkit-markers

take a look at cv object (By Jean-Marc Pelletier

). there are some pattern recognition objects.

Search also forum for reactable.


I know cv objects made by Jean-Marc Pelletier, I was searching something more already made for geometrical symbols than this.

Thanks for reminding me old good Reactable, I didn't expected, that they would have such colorful index of supported clients for reacTIVision. ,]

Nothing in existence which reads artoolkit markers through jitter.

The only workable solution I have found and used is the following:

1) build a Quartz Composition which does the image recognition, displays the video feed and sends the tracking data through OSC.

2) pull the composition into max using DIPSQCRenderer from the DIPS toolkit (

) which will allow you to see the video feed and check the incoming OSC.

The is hardly an elegant solution, DIPS is not compatible with jitter so you will be tied into using it instead but it allows you to see and track the tag using one camera - if you ran the composition outside of max, quartz would take control of the camera and you would not be able to access it from max as well (same issue with Reactivision).

The info on how to make an tag tracker object is all out there it just needs someone keen with object coding experience to do it. Out of interest is there anyone on the list who could speculate how complex this would be to do and make work with jitter?

Actually there are some max objects made for Augumented Reality but it is not available for general Max msp public.
