Abstract :
The increasing availability of open source implementations of computer vision algorithms promises to commoditize these technologies as reusable community maintained building blocks. Using OpenCV and the cross-platform Qt development environment, we investigate the suitability of an open building block approach for rapid concept prototyping of computer vision based user interaction designs in CE-orientated networked multimedia home environments.
