Computer Vision and Motion Detection/Recognition

[lnk2019]

Hi,

Anyone know any good literature, books or online (or any other medium) regarding Motion Detection and Recognition using Computer Vision?

I know about the OpenCV A.P.I. and I have the book "Learning OpenCV" published by O`Reilly.

But I wanted some good literature regarding core concepts of Motion Detection, Recognition and the current state of the field.

Granted this is the wrong forum for this type of query but I hope that someone here will know something or can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

If you have a Kinect the SDK was pretty recently released.

Otherwise I have an Electronic Engineering degree and I can help you in that respect. But I don't see where you think you would need software for the motion detection portion. This is just a comparator hooked up to a photovolic cell and some sort of timer.

Hi, thanks for the reply! I thought about using the Kinect, but I wanted to address Motion Recognition using a simple webcam, as Kinect are terribly expensive.

Next semester I'll complete my internship and start the final year of my Software Engineering degree. For this I will need to research and build a non-trivial application (what that means I couldn't tell you).

I was thinking about diving into the world of computer vision using OpenCV, but I wanted literature on the field of Motion Recognition to get a feel for the state of the industry.
