Blob Tracking in Houdini COPs
Blob tracking is one of those features that feels native to TouchDesigner but has no equivalent in COPs, so I built it. One step closer to turn COPs into a knockoff TouchDesigner!
The node uses OpenCV’s contour detection to find distinct regions in a grayscale image and outputs a point for each blob. Not quite TouchDesigner speed, but since the output is just geometry, you get the entire SOPs toolset at your disposal to play around with.
