Open Source C++ Video Software for Mac

TacitPixel is a scalable C++ framework for building application prototypes for interactive collaborative VR/AR applications. It provides a number of features that make prototyping fast and portable. TacitPixel is the successor of the TAP and Twisted Pair engines.

KinectA is an application for motion tracking via Kinect Sensor – including hand, skeleton and object tracking. This software has been developed for the needs of media artists and designers. It provides a clearly arranged interface with multiple functionalities. The tracked information can be send via OSC to other hard- and software. KinectA is available for Mac and Windows.

This is an application that streams data from the Microsoft Kinect or cameras like it over a network. The program is Intended to be used in robotics applications where the controller cannot use such cameras directly due to hardware/software limitations--such as lacking usb ports or appropriate drivers--or in situations where the camera is not in close proximity to the device that needs to access it. Given that the controller can accept data from over the network, another embedded controller that is able to use these kinds of cameras can be loaded with this software to send the image and depth data from the kinect over the network to the other controller. Currently, KinectStreamer can only use the libfreenect library as its driver. Support for the OpenNI driver should be rolling out soon. As well as a C++ client to the KinectStreamer server. Designed by Frans Elliott.

MPT is a toolbox that supplies cross-platform libraries for real-time perception primitives, including face detection, eye detection, blink detection, and color tracking.

PyramidWorkshop is an image-compression System based upon the scientific work of John Robinson (inventor of BTPC) about image-compression with adaptive linear predictors and is in average more efficient than PNG/JPEG2000.

Scene is a computer vision framework that performs background subtraction and object tracking, using two traditional algorithms and three more recent algorithms based on neural networks and fuzzy classification rules. For each detected object, Scene sends TUIO messages to one or several client applications. The present release features GPU accelerated versions of all the background subtraction methods and morphological post processing of the object blobs with dilation and erosion filters, implemented in OpenCL. The framework was mainly designed as a toolkit for the rapid development of interactive art projects that explore dynamics of complex environments. The Scene GUI runs and compiles under Windows, Linux, and MacOS X, and is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.

ViKi (Virtual Interactive keyboard Interface) is a global framework that enables contactless human machine interaction using computer vision techniques. Only a simple webcam is sufficient to emulate traditional devices such as mouse and keyboard do.

VisionMouse allows people to control their computers with their webcams!
