Hey guys, my name is Kevin Phytagoras. I'm now working on final project for undergraduate thesis that using openCV. i'm creating a virtual gamelan app. its kinda like this http://www.soundstep.com/blog/experiments/jsdetection/
Gamelan is a music instrument originating from indonesia. it's kinda like xylophone. I'm trying to create an app that can simulate the real play of a gamelan using webcam as a motion detector.
Here is the rough drawing of what i want to create
the app workaround is like this
- user put down paper with picture of gamelan
- webcam capture the picture and designate the position of target area for gamelan mallet to be smashed
- webcam detect the motion of gamelan mallet
- the motion must past imaginary line for the motion to be considered as smashing
- smashed target area will make a sound according to which target area is smashed
I know that i must
- Detect the mallet movement
- Designate the area on paper
- Create the imaginary line
- Make the target area respond with sound when smashed
So what the best method to do that ? i like any suggestion that you can give.
i'm sorry if i ask too much, i just don't know how to start this project
thank you for all your attention. i'm waiting for any response.
