A java based programming environment - processing - free from processing.org.
here it uses a free library - OpenCv - to detect blobs in a live video capture - some parts like - hands or head or the entire human are evidenced through some visual effects.
A java application - processing which can be downloaded free from processing.org
Here it uses a free library - OpenCv - made by intel. .. to convert all the pixels in an image - in fact in a movie - a capture from the webcam. If the color of a pixel is "higher" comparing to a threshold it turns black - otherwise it becomes white.
The object detector described below has been initially proposed by
P.F. Felzenszwalb in [Felzenszwalb2010]. It is based on a
Dalal-Triggs detector that uses a single filter on histogram of
oriented gradients (HOG) features to represent an object category.
This detector uses a sliding window approach, where a filter is
applied at all positions and scales of an image. The first
innovation is enriching the Dalal-Triggs model using a
star-structured part-based model defined by a “root” filter
(analogous to the Dalal-Triggs filter) plus a set of parts filters
and associated deformation models. The score of one of star models
at a particular position and scale within an image is the score of
the root filter at the given location plus the sum over parts of the
maximum, over placements of that part, of the part filter score on
its location minus a deformation cost easuring the deviation of the
part from its ideal location relative to the root. Both root and
part filter scores are defined by the dot product between a filter
(a set of weights) and a subwindow of a feature pyramid computed
from the input image. Another improvement is a representation of the
class of models by a mixture of star models. The score of a mixture
model at a particular position and scale is the maximum over
components, of the score of that component model at the given
location.
