Here are the test results!

Woooow! I haven’t had a clue of how much these two items would improve my setup. There’s literally NO interferance of any wavelength above the visible spectrum with my setup what so ever. I mean nothing at all! The latest version of Community Core Vision does the rest. One now has options available like min. and max. blobSize, image threshold and movement threshold, that let you tweak precisely as, bru. Can’t wait to get back coding. I call it a day…cheers Gabor

Omega Bob delivered Hot Mirror & 880nm BandPass Filter

Yay! This is fantastic. OmegaBob, a guy with a very well sorted online shop on eBay, takes less time to send me items from the States to Sydney, than it takes my local shop to organize inkjet cartridges for my printer. So…I will test it straight away and post results. Stay tuned 😉

2 Weeks later

Two weeks later and not much to show, when it comes to the actual application. Uni keeps me busy and to satisfy my teachers, I’ve decided to fully concentrate on all the other assignments first, that are still blocking my way. There’s something though, that will keep me cheered up:

I’ve bought the following:

– A 880nm bandpass filter (right dimensions to fit my camera lens)

– A Unibrain Firewire iBoard Camera

This beautiful piece is an industrial OEM board camera, that is supposed to help me eliminating the problem of a low and automatically adjusted  frame rate I have to put with right now. It shoots up to 30 frames per second and sends the data through a Fire Wire cable. Can’t wait to test it out…should arrive by the end of the coming week.

– An Optical Filter or so called “Hot Mirror”, which i will place in front of my projector lens to reduce the “Hot Spot” on my projection surface. The projector still gives me some trouble for it also emits IR and NIR wavelength, which interferes with my setup by creating additional blobs and therefor makes my application become unpredictable. This filter will reduce this effect drastically (i hope) and improve my tracking.
