Pile Tracker

November 5th, 2009 Comments off

I am developing an specific system for piles motion analysis.
I am not an software expert, so for now I’m working experimentally in a manual way:

1-Using a digital high-speed camera connected in to the USB port of a computer I record a .mov file, saved to a folder on computer;
2- The clip shows always a standard label, whit two black square (I can change its colour format, etc…) targets, moving downward an upward;
3- Using Adobe After Effects, I open the file, manually click the two targets and run the motion tracker routine;
4- Then I manually select the track points coordinates, copy and paste them on a excel worksheet;
5- The worksheet does the final job.

I need a program that, automatically:

a) Detects and opens a new .mov file in the folder;
b) In the first frame detects de centre of the two targets, saving its coordinates (x and y, in pixels);
c) Tracks the targets motion, saving its coordinates, frame by frame;
d) The program results output should be an excel worksheet or CSV file.

Flash 3d House Change

The flash movie is located here: http://www.loudounexteriors.com/

I need a flash movie to be changed. The images in the movie will be now be 900 by 510. They are 300 by 170 now. The house images anyway. The stage should be changed to 1200 by 700 or whatever size needed to fit all elements of the flash movie. The size of the stage now is 600 by 430 which allows all elements to be seen, including when the red targets expand. You will have to use big images. I can expand the brick house now to 900 by 510 but it’s all blurry.

The redbrick house needs to be changed to a house with siding. You can change the targets to fit whatever new house you use. But of course they must correspond to the targets they are meant for i.e the gutter target must point at the gutter, the roof target must point to the roof etc. While there is some flexibility in the flash movie not looking exactly the same as it does now, in terms of moving around the house, I do want it to go into the ground like it does now.

The little fading thing and numbers flashing through the screen for the 5 images near the end will need to be expanded to 910-510 too. You don’t have to worry about the 5 images in the end (the truck, the roofer on a roof, the family, the before house, and the after house), because I’ll replace them with new images later.

I do however want that last picture (the after house) to move forward at the person viewing the site. Right now it’s moving forward and to the left for some reason. It originally moved forward but I must have changed something that messed it up. So I’ll give you the very originally version of the flash as well.

Augmented Reality Game

June 1st, 2009 Comments off

Design company seeks progamming assistance with an AR (augmented reality) game.

NOTES: 1. We will supply any artwork, 3D environments/models, SFX, etc required for the project.
2. We need help with all flash/action script/etc programming required to make the game.
3. This is for the web.

Basic concept:
1. Player ‘pieces’ are controlled by tilting the gameboard (actual paper with icon). When gameboard tilts, pieces slide according to physics.
2. Targets are randomly positioned across gameboard. The goal is to slide pieces and make them come into contact with targets. Points are scored based on number of ‘tags’.
3. Obstacles are randomly located on board as well. These will stop pieces or make them have to go around. there needs to be a sense of ‘physics’ to these interactions.
4. Player ‘pieces’ can fall off the game board. when they do, they are gone.
5. When all pieces have either tagged all targets or fallen off the board the round is over.
