Motion Tracking for Two using IR and Greyscale
Before filtering and adjusting greyscale.
After!
For our upcoming performance, Brad and I are using a camera with an infrared filter in combination with "infrared" bathroom heat lamps behind the projection screen, so the screen appears white to the camera. We then have costumes with enough separation on the greyscale to distinguish us from each other(Brad is currently represented by a sheet of duvateen.

hi there. I am a student of Lasalle-SIA College of the Arts in Singapore, majoring in Interactive Arts. I'm currently doing a project which needs a video tracking motion software to make it works. Do you know if there is any software in the market that can track a person's movement and at the same time key out the backdrop color, which can be link to macromedia director file, besides the software TrackThemeColor? And where can i find the source or open source will be better. Your help is deeply appreciated.
I will be waiting for your reply. Thank you.

Hey, stella! We used max/msp(http://www.cycling74.com) for this project, and it might be good for your needs as well. It's pretty easy to use and very versatile.
But maybe you can tell me more about the specifics of your project? Email me at ksantiag at usc dot edu
