  1. RotoscopingSenior Capstone Project | Ted Trisco April 24, 2007

  2. Agenda • Definition & Requirements • Design • Flash • Visual Basic 6 • OpenCV • Reflections • Q & A

  3. Project Definition & Requirements

  4. Project Definition • Rotoscoping • Tracing over live-action film, grouping pixels and limiting colors • Frame by frame process • Invented by Max Fleisher, utilized by Disney • Flat Black Films and Rotoshop

  5. Project Definition • Examples

  6. Project Definition • My Goals & Objectives • Filter frames from webcam to produce rotoscope image • Develop interactive user interface to allow control over filtering • Implement user functionality regarding saving filtered streams

  7. Project Design

  8. Flash Environment • Simple trace (no computation) • Embedded in timeline • Utilized layer capability to animate • Original movie • My Homepage - Flash

  9. Visual Basic 6 Platform • Computing each frame from webcam • Pixel calculation and integer division • Implemented save/open functionality • VB6 Application

  10. OpenCV • C/C++ libraries aimed at camera vision • Able to use same algorithms • OpenCV Application

  11. Project Reflection

  12. Computer Science Concepts • Flash environment • Event handling • File formats and processing • Efficient algorithms

  13. Extensions • More efficient algorithm, cleaner tracing • Graphical interface • Saving adaptability Looking ahead…

  14. Advice • Meet with professors early and often • Design, design, design • Roll with the highs and lows Exhaust your area!

  15. Q & A Thank You!
