I'm very new to maxmsp and are in need of some help.

I'm wanting to create an air guitar that played.

I have already set up two patches that capture video from seperate cameras. One picking up 6 vertical frames (pixels) to represent the 6 strings on a guitar. The other camera pics up 12 horizontal positions to represent fret position.

When these are put together it will give you a sound via midi data.

My issue is that it's no refined enough, so I would like to use colour tracking on each camera.

Any help with this would be much appreciated as I don't know how or where to put it. Iv tried to find tutorial 25 but not had much luck.

colour-tracking-2

if you're having trouble finding the tutorial, open up the Reference window (Help -> Reference), and type "Tracking the Position of a Color in a Movie" into the search bar.

jit.findbounds is the object that does color tracking in Jitter.

When you're familiar with the tutorial and the Jitter world, install the "cv.jit" package by J-M Pelletier: you'll find nice objects for standard computer vision algorithms including color tracking.
