Picture analysis API
Author
i need an API which will assit me in analysing pictures. The pictures will be taken from a web cam and i need to distinguish objects in the picture. Assuming that the color contrast of objects will be high among each other .Can any1 give me a name of an API which will make my work easier .. it will be highly appreciated thanking u in advance who ever u r ..
There might be such a library, but I have a feeling it won't help you as much as you want because such image processing is EXTREMELY domain dependant, which means what works for somebody else probably won't work for you. Another big problem is that webcams have TONS of noise unless it is a rather expensive one, so such processing is made even more difficult. I would suggest a book on the subject, but I've only read 1 and it was only slightly helpful and it cost a LOT because it was a college textbook (luckily I didn't buy it, I just borred it from a coworker)
Check out Intel's open-source Computer Vision library:

I haven't played with it much, but it does seem able to nab objects out of streaming video. Hope it helps.

VIPS has been used and developed in the EU projects CRISATEL, VASARI, MARC, VISEUM, ACOHIR, ARTISTE and MUSA. The Department of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton use it as an image processing framework in student projects and PhD research. It's used at The National Gallery, London for most of their imaging research
