 guide, the improvements here are immediately obvious — objects and abstractions in the package are grouped together by category based on their function for ease of navigation. There's even a

These categories will help you to have a better idea of where to look for when, for example, you are only interested in performing simple blob tracking. Clicking the

Not long ago, we received a message from an old friend, Jean-Marc Pelletier, the creator and maintainer of the cv.jit package. He let us know that he dusted off the old cv.jit repository and knocked together some new goodies to share with the Max community. 

For those of you who may not be familiar with it, cv.jit is an incredible package of tools geared toward computer vision techniques that are built upon the open source OpenCV library.  The message of a new version from Jean-Marc was a welcome one - it has been a while since the last update to this package. So we got to work putting a new release together that you can now access using the Max Package Manager. 

Release 2.0 of the cv.jit package offers not only existing feature updates, but also an extensive reworking of the package's help files that make exploring the old (and new!) features of cv.jit more straightforward. I’d like to highlight some of the exciting things you can do with this new cv.jit release.

If you're familiar with the previous cv.jit guide, the improvements here are immediately obvious — objects and abstractions in the package are grouped together by category based on their function for ease of navigation. There's even a "new!" category that lists the tools introduced in this update.

These categories will help you to have a better idea of where to look for when, for example, you are only interested in performing simple blob tracking. Clicking the blobs category in the launcher patch and clicking on cv.jit.blobs.centroids opens up the new and improved help patch.

Most help files now include a bpatcher utility to manage input sources and common matrix operations that are often necessary for tracking with cv.jit. This abstraction is accessible via the clickable label in the launcher patch. 

The process chain is organized as follows: cv.jit.resize → jit.rgb2luma → jit.op @op > → jit.gen (inverter). Here's how the objects work together:

cv.jit.resize is useful both for bringing down the number of pixels needed to process, as well as conforming the input to an expected size to match pwindow sizes in some help files. 

jit.rgb2luma converts to single-plane data required by several cv.jit objects.

jit.op converts to binary data (pixels that are either on or off) for objects that expect it.

jit.gen performs an invert operation for cases where the foreground is darker than the background.

Matrix-heads should not miss the cv.jit.iter (iterate by row or column), cv.jit.changetype (easily change the type of a matrix e.g. from char to float32) and cv.jit.notempty (I’ll let you guess) utilities.

I’m definitely going to experiment with cv.jit.kalman and cv.jit.lowpass next time I have a noisy sensor data stream to process. Additionally, cv.jit.noise provides some fantastic new options for generating random floating-point values.

You'll find some meatier stuff in the cv.jit.face and cv.jit.keypoints object families. 

There's a lot of amazing new options in this release, and the new design makes exploring and finding the objects and abstractions you need much easier. Fire up your Package Manager, download the cv.jit 2.0 package, and have fun!

Jean-Marc Pelletier has updated his cv.jit package for Jitter -  a fantastic collection of tools geared toward computer vision techniques that are built upon the open source OpenCV library. Here are some of the changes and exciting things you can do with it.

content-you-need-cv-jit

great news:) unfortunately i get some errors with the new stuff:

cv_jit_face_landmarks: OpenCV error: OpenCV(4.5.0) /Users/rob/dev/opencv/opencv-4.5.0/modules/core/src/matrix.cpp:473: error: (-215:Assertion failed) 0 <= roi.x && 0 <= roi.width && roi.x + roi.width <= m.cols && 0 <= roi.y && 0 <= roi.height && roi.y + roi.height <= m.rows in function 'Mat'

patch? object? system specs? max version?

sorry for not being specific - it happens with the patches in the "new"category" 
i think it is the cv.jit.face.landmarks object which causes the errors .

i am on  mac osc 10.14 i7 3.1 ghz latest max version

help file works fine over here, so will need some steps to reproduce.

The release of Ableton Live 11 introduced a number of new features for working with MIDI notes:

The Max for Live API has been updated to provide access to this new data in Live, and to allow for manipulating notes without discarding this new data.

The second part of our look at what’s new in Live for Max for Live users will provide a brief overview of the new features in the Live notes API.

We’re also including a pair of example Max for Live devices which contain snippets that you can copy and paste to help you hit the ground running as you learn to use these new features.

And don’t worry if you’re not really familiar with dictionaries (dicts) or note IDs in Max — two mechanisms in Max you’ll be using when you work with the notes API — we’ve tried to walk you through how dicts and note IDs are used in the example device snippets.

Live11_notes_API_devices.zip

For those of you who are already familiar with working with the notes API in Live 10 (or for those of you who’d rather read patches than text), let’s start with a device from the download (

) that will give you a side-by-side comparison of how common tasks used to be done, and the new Live 11 notes API ways of doing them:

Notes API - Before and After.png

You’ll find examples here of all the common API-based notes operations you already know (

) with examples of the new notes API versions you can copy, paste, and modify as needed to quickly add the new functionality to your own devices.

You will find the full specification for the notes API in the 

 listed as part of the Clip specification.

The new features of the Live 11 notes API involves working with note IDs and dictionaries in Max (for more details on this, see below).
