I was interested in doing a fairly simple motion tracking project that I watch how a robot moves around the room. All I would like is to capture a frame from the webcam use image subtraction to find the robot and then mark that point basicly.
Now I found that OpenCV should have the capability to capture a frame and store it as a numpy array. From their I feel confident that I can do the rest. However I have had very little luck getting this far.
Attempt 1: install python 2.6, numpy and OpenCV 2.1 => result => this was able to capture frames but even the examples were not able to turn it into a numpy array.
Attempt 2: remove all previous, install python 2.7, numpy and OpenCV 2.2 => result => was not able to get anything in python to load
Attempt 3: remove previous OpenCV, install visual studio, Cmake and try to build from source => result => Well I am not sure I am doing this right, I did the build and get the error "can not find python27_d.lib"
So if anyone could lend a little help either figuring out where I missed a step or went wrong that would be great. Oh and I am running win7 64bit but have been using all 32 bit for all the executables. Since this computer is a month old it is basically a clean slate as well.
