Hi!

Is there any library or example for object tracking with persistence in Processing? So far I’ve been playing with findContours from OpenCV and tried to do the persistance myself, but I thought that should be a problem that has been solved before 🙂

Thanks!

have you tried BoofCV? There’s an example in its processing wrapper for object tracking using your webcam. You select a rectangle and it tracks it. There are a few different trackers to select.
