Blob Tracking in OpenCV
I spent the day looking through the blobtracker code in OpenCV C samples. It’s largely a wrapper for blob tracking code available in the cvaux library. It handles setting the different modules and parameters andalso displaying and/or saving the results.
The actual tracking is done by the BlobTrackingAuto class in cvaux. This code is not well documented. Perhaps it would be if the OpenCV wiki were fully operational, but as such I can search online for and find the source code. It’s not actually included in the OpenCV download, at least not the 1.0.0 release.

Hey i am doing a Research On Hand tracking with a camera and i have markers on the joints of the hand and can i use blob tracking as tracking module to detect these marker Locations?
If you have markers at the joints, you shouldn’t need a true blob tracker, since the purpose of markers is to give you something easy to find. Though if they’re IR markers, I’d imagine that the system comes with the appropriate software to detect the markers.
Hy,
Just wanted to know if you understood well the difference between cvCreateBlobDetectorCC(), cvCreateBlobDetectorSimple(), because i’m not sure to understand correctly how it works
Yes But IR markers are not allowed in my research and i just want use color belts and find their location in video and detect the angle of the hand. I didnt get this “I’d imagine that the system comes with the appropriate software to detect the markers.” ..please i am very new for this tracking things just please guide me if u have a clue
Yes i know it would be easier but according to my research objective marker are define as color belts and then detect those marker as blobs in the motion and track their motion throughout the video and get their locations if you have any reference for OpenCV source code for this type of a work please help me i am just new for this area..
Thanks for u Thomas Kuo and all other..
