I am looking for some motion detection tools and I want to try CYCLOPS.

But unfortunately it is not working (see attachment what happens when I open the helping patch)

I am using MAX 6.1.7 on a Macbook Retina 10.9.4

I use MAX in 32Bit version (otherwise it is not working properly)

I am eager to get deeper into the problem and even more to get into motion detection.

check out the cv.jit. library, they also have amazing motion detection patches that work straight out of the box. Not an answer to your question but it might help with the direction you want to follow.

Yes I already had a brief look at the library. What about tracking the position of a person on a stage.. is it possible? I just started to work with a kinect but I think this is not the best solution for a bigger space.

Kinect has a small range, dancer must be 3 meters away from the kinect max range 5 to 6 meters. The update rate from the kinect is really slow for anything but slow dancing. Thats why most dancer tracking projects are really slow to look at.

If you buy a infra red camera to do the same thing with thermal tracking then you can get way way faster FPS, but then you don't have the skeleton tracking.

Blob recognition like with the civ.jit library can easily follow a dancer or two or three depending on range from the camera.

Your main problem no matter what system you use is calibration, unwanted background noise, smoothing the data out.

Hope this info helps


Andro, thanks for this introduction. Do have a link or a product information about the InfraRED solution? I guess these cameras are quite expansive?

I don't need the skeleton function as I only want to get the position of a person in a room.
