Object Detection

[blinkybill]

I am making a 3D object detection program... and am having a hard time thinking about how I can code this in

- The 3D objects have their own animations and have two states, idle and roaming.

- There is a general name in text above the 3D object's model that is attached to the model like a billboard, and has a 100% transparent background

- The text above the 3D object's model scales with the dynamically moving camera

- The camera, it can zoom and rotate

- I am not given any arbitrary coordinates of the location of the 3D objects except what I see on screen

I am making use of the imagesearch function at the moment... and have tried searching for images of the text and the 3d objects,,, but it is difficult due to the camera being dynamic

Maybe thinking of comparing the picture of a whole screen to a picture of the same screen at a different interval... but this might be very taxing

Tricky... do you want to just detect if there is an object in view, or wanna know more, like the coordinates and stuff?

Thank you for getting back to me, greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, just detect the object in view

If I had arbitrary coordinates, this would be extremely easy to do, however given only visual information makes this a very tricky process

Any ideas are greatly appreciated

I would search the memory, search pattern would be, unknown value -> changed value, until you get only a few,

then you would know that when the value changes, you have something on screen.

Tsearch can help with the search, nomad memory (think thats the name) can help with changing values in memory and stuff,

but i never messed up much with it.
