Hi,
for my project I must find a way to detect the moving of person along the horizontal axis and if cross in one direction or in another an immaginary vertical line ( lets assume 1/2 of image size) , increment or decrement a counter.
In another post was suggested for a similar problem to use the frame differentiation and then the blob detection and putting toghether parts of the sample codes I’ve obtained a first step of what I need.
Now my problem is select just one of the blob that is moving and on this one calculate if the blob.cx() is mooving left or right and if cross the imaginary line .
The problem is that the blobs retured from the img.find_blobs method are more than one but just one is moving in a significant way ( see video attached ), and I’ve not idea at all how I can isolate just that one and operate on cx() value .
I can’t work in a dinamic way on pixels_threshold and area_threshold parameters to isolate just one blob.
This is the merge of samples codes that I’ve used :
# Advanced Frame Differencing Example
#
# This example demonstrates using frame differencing with your OpenMV Cam. This
# example is advanced because it preforms a background update to deal with the
# backgound image changing overtime.
import sensor, image, pyb, os, time
high_threshold = (30, 100)
TRIGGER_THRESHOLD = 5
BG_UPDATE_FRAMES = 50 # How many frames before blending.
BG_UPDATE_BLEND = 128 # How much to blend by... ([0-256]==[0.0-1.0]).
blob_cx_trh=100
sensor.reset() # Initialize the camera sensor.
sensor.set_pixformat(sensor.RGB565) # or sensor.RGB565
sensor.set_framesize(sensor.QVGA) # or sensor.QQVGA (or others)
sensor.skip_frames(time = 2000) # Let new settings take affect.
sensor.set_auto_whitebal(False) # Turn off white balance.
clock = time.clock() # Tracks FPS.
# Take from the main frame buffer's RAM to allocate a second frame buffer.
# There's a lot more RAM in the frame buffer than in the MicroPython heap.
# However, after doing this you have a lot less RAM for some algorithms...
# So, be aware that it's a lot easier to get out of RAM issues now. However,
# frame differencing doesn't use a lot of the extra space in the frame buffer.
# But, things like AprilTags do and won't work if you do this...
extra_fb = sensor.alloc_extra_fb(sensor.width(), sensor.height(), sensor.RGB565)
print("About to save background image...")
sensor.skip_frames(time = 2000) # Give the user time to get ready.
extra_fb.replace(sensor.snapshot())
print("Saved background image - Now frame differencing!")
triggered = False
frame_count = 0
while(True):
clock.tick() # Track elapsed milliseconds between snapshots().
img = sensor.snapshot() # Take a picture and return the image.
frame_count += 1
if (frame_count > BG_UPDATE_FRAMES):
frame_count = 0
# Blend in new frame. We're doing 256-alpha here because we want to
# blend the new frame into the backgound. Not the background into the
# new frame which would be just alpha. Blend replaces each pixel by
# ((NEW*(alpha))+(OLD*(256-alpha)))/256. So, a low alpha results in
# low blending of the new image while a high alpha results in high
# blending of the new image. We need to reverse that for this update.
img.blend(extra_fb, alpha=(256-BG_UPDATE_BLEND))
extra_fb.replace(img)
# Replace the image with the "abs(NEW-OLD)" frame difference.
img.difference(extra_fb)
hist = img.get_histogram()
# This code below works by comparing the 99th percentile value (e.g. the
# non-outlier max value against the 90th percentile value (e.g. a non-max
# value. The difference between the two values will grow as the difference
# image seems more pixels change.
diff = hist.get_percentile(0.99).l_value() - hist.get_percentile(0.90).l_value()
triggered = diff > TRIGGER_THRESHOLD
img.binary([high_threshold])
for blob in img.find_blobs([high_threshold], pixels_threshold=10, area_threshold=180, merge=False):
print(blob)
img.draw_keypoints([(blob.cx(), blob.cy(),90)] , size=40, color=127)
In the attachment a screen recording of what happen .
Obviously the only blob that I want track is the one tha is moving back and forward .
Any suggestion is wellcome.
Thanks Roberto.
