You can track the position of an object using computer vision techniques like image segmentation and blob analysis. Once you have the position of the object, you can define a function to be executed when the object is in a specific spot.
Here's an example code that uses the webcam to track a red object and display a message when the object is in the center of the screen:
main.m1043 chars43 lines
This code uses the webcam
function to create a webcam object, and then enters a loop where it acquires frames from the webcam, identifies red objects using image segmentation and blob analysis, and displays the frames with the identified blobs. When a red object is found in the center of the screen (within a tolerance of 10 pixels in each direction), the code displays a message on the command window.
Note that this is just a basic example, and object tracking can be much more complex depending on the specific requirements of your application.
