• In Reflective Colors mode, pixels having the specified colors are analyzed as
belonging to the corresponding object. Use this mode, if desired, for tracking
LEDs or color markers when the arena is lit.
• In general, to obtain optimal tracking results put more effort into setting up
Object Contour mode than either LED or Reflective Colors modes. Object
Contour mode is also more sensitive to changes in background or lighting
conditions.
2.9.4 Object Contour Mode Tracking
Object Contour mode tracking contrasts and thresholds a monochrome image and
computes its centroid to track the target. Object Contour tracking includes
options that provide detail filtering, background subtracting, contour closing, and
motion measuring. For more information on using the CinePlex Studio optional
capabilities for Object Contour mode, see “Options For Object Contour Mode”
on page 78. The flowchart in Figure 2-2 illustrates the steps involved in configuring
both the basic setup and the setup options for Object Contour mode. Detailed
procedures follow the flowchart. If desired, use the Tracking Wizard (see “Object
Contour Mode Tracking” on page 75) to provide an on-screen step-by-step guide
to the following procedure.
