FYI,<br> A few months back, Seth Woodworth (irc/isforinsects) and I did some brainstorming about stop motion and webcam ideas. But both of us got distracted on other projects.... here's the notes and comments that we gathered during our investigation...<br>
<br> <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ixo/Project/Webcam">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ixo/Project/Webcam</a><br><br>I'm sure you'd get some feedback from both of us, if any similar project started to get off the ground. :)<br>

Hey all,<br>
<br>
The webcam on the XO sure has a lot of potential for cool killer apps.<br>
For example things with<br>
- Motion Tracking<br>
- Gesture Recognition<br>
- Face Recognition<br>
- Object Identification<br>
- ...<br>
<br>
Recently I came in touch with OpenCV<br>
(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opencv" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opencv</a>) -- it's a open source<br>
image-recognition library developed by intel, which does exactly this<br>
kind things. It's also a library commonly used for robotics.<br>
<br>
Anyone here ever played with OpenCV before? I will slowly have a deeper<br>
look into it during the next months, as I am taking a course in image<br>
recognition. Wonder if it works well and fast on the XO. Then it could<br>
even make sense to put effort in a kind of Python API, and examples.<br>
<br>
If it works fast enough, I'm sure it will be lots of fun playing with<br>
this library and image recognition :)<br>
