Computer Vision ( Open CV )

Nowadays Computer Vision is acquiring a growing relevance in the field of interactive arts. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce some computer vision techniques which are the base of the actual pd_opencv library, a set of objects ( delivered as independent objects and not a library ), utilities and examples to use those techniques inside the Pure Data programming language. At the same time we introduce some practical examples of the possible use cases on this topic, and a brief introduction to the internals of the pdp and Gem libraries and the openCV API in order to understand the way to refine and extend the actual pd_opencv approach.
