"Body Paint" performance at "Clicks or Mortar", March 2009 from Memo Akten on Vimeo.
Custom software analyses images from infra-red cameras in real-time, and converts motion into colors, drips and brush-strokes. The software was written in C++ using the open-source toolkit openFrameworks. While the early versions of Body Paint used the open-source computer vision library OpenCV for motion analysis, the current software uses a custom vision library based on the OpenCL technology for greater performance with a more detailed motion analysis resulting in a smoother, more sensitive and more believable experience.
