An art project to perform hardware accelerated generative drawing on a video based mesh. Built with openFrameworks
There are two components to this project, openCV powered face detection and the generative distortion performed using GLSL.
The openCV library detects frontal faces, and filters the rect within which they lie from the video stream captured by the video grabber.
This rect is then applied to an ofImage texture, upon which a GLSL shader is run to produce a generative, pseudo-random based distortion.
Finally, the distorted image frame is drawn to the screen as a wireframe, in the region relative to the source video stream that it orignated from.
The program supports multiple simulataneous face detection and drawing, up to the threshold defined in ofApp.h.
Please note that run time performance can vary greatly depending on your system, as much of the project uses hardware-accelerated features.
- Clone this repo to a location of your choice.
- Import the project into your system's project generator to update it to use your
OF_PATH.
Note: I wrote this project to run on Mac OS X, but all the underlying code can easily be ported to Windows or Linux.
This project requires the following addons:
- ofxCV
- ofxOpenCV
