Blob Tracking in Your Browser (Patreon)

I've developed a real-time blob tracking tool for experimental artists that requires no installation. It runs directly in the browser without plugins or resolution limits, which is useful for quick setups in a performance environment.

✦ Hardware & Software Specs:

- Real-Time OpenCV Tracking: Sub-frame accuracy for multiple blobs.- Interactive Spatial Zones: You can draw and rotate trigger zones on the canvas.- MIDI Engine: State-driven Note On/Off data to avoid redundant messaging.- Generative MIDI FX: Tools for triggering chords, scales, and sequences with probability settings.- Dual Output: Sends MIDI to hardware or raw JSON via Web Sockets to TouchDesigner.- Presets: Over 21 configurations included to help you test the logic immediately.

✦ Workflow:

1. Load: Use a video file or live webcam feed.2. Configure: Set thresholds to isolate blobs and define your trigger zones.3. Perform: Route the data to your external software or hardware.

This approach is helpful for those coming from a VJ or music background who need stable data without heavy local processing. ✦
