Motion Tracking Support

[sarvepalli18]

When i add kinect as a source in OpenNIVirtualCam i can see the motion tracking when smart tracking feature is selected. I do not see the same with OBS though, this is very helpful feature especially when there are multiple people in the room or when the subject is moving. Would be a great addition to the already available excellent features in obs kinect :)

Hi.

What exactly is that motion tracking feature? I installed OpenNIVirtualCam to try it out and didn't see any change when enabling Smart Tracking.

Okay I managed to make it work, and took a look at the code, it's actually a face tracking, centering on someone face, it should be pretty easy to do 😄

Yes it is face tracking. I have implemented face tracking using particles filters but not sure how to implement it using kinect APIs. I am a noob though, but very much interested in Computer Vision.

Also one more thought i had is that since kinect receives audio, it will be a nice feature to track audio, like whoever is the speaker in the room the camera focuses on the speaker.

Yes I've seen that KinectV2 (and maybe v1) have directional audio. Having that and face tracking would be a really nice feature indeed.
I can't promise I'll do it before releasing 1.0 (I should have released it a while ago already), I still have to work on the Linux version to release it.
