Te-Raffic Show

The idea of the installation clicked after I have involved too much of technicalities into the project; which went on from tracking multiple objects in videos and camera to a simple refined concept. Following is a scrambled set of quotes/words which actually shaped up the entire project output as in the end product:

The Beginning:
Simple and interactive. Emulate some aspects of the game I played recently i.e., Limbo. Create a swarm of fireflies which irritates the person who pass by the screen.

Basic Graphics (2D) coding tool, Processing.


Basic of 2D Vector with points and painting them on the screen. Translating the points in the 2D Plane moving them across a defined space.

Group movement of the particle and moving in swarm.


Cohesion and Follow; as in how to make the particle aggregate and move in a group such as to mimic the action of the flies or fireflies.

Sync user Input with composition.


Cohesion and Follow; as in how to make the particle aggregate and move in a group such as to mimic the action of the flies or fireflies.

What interests you in the flocks and swarm? Basically the movement. How each unit group together and move as a single unit & the advantages of being together as a group.

Traffic is one more such place where the flocks can be studied Flocking in human being! Ya sure would try to find the relation between the two...

Studied the various aspects of traffic, Unorganized Traffic perhaps.


Understandably chaotic. Nevertheless, the fundamentals of traffic remain the same. A driver always likes to reach his destination in the best possible way. This goal of driver remains the same irrespective of the traffic being organized or unorganized.

How come we manage to get out of a crossroad with no traffic lights??? Try taking a video and tracking the vehicles in it..

That is some art, nice and playful. Maybe it can be seen for a

Try removing the video from behind and check what happens? But I cant remove the video from the tracking system as I cant modify the code. As it is a Tracking Software, written by someone Seems like I need to write some kind of Tracking system of my own.

Making a system to track Traffic Movement


Place to track unorganized traffic; best place is at a junction with no or non-working Traffic Lights. Tracking objects using computer vision; opencv, Blob Scanner, Blob Detection, Flobs.

Flobs
Uses Flood Fill and Frame Differencing Algorithm to track movement in the video or camera feed.

Putting the Flobs to use.


Digital Monome and Flobs. The motion detected by turning on-off of switches spread across the screen. Each movement in cell toggles the swtich.

Colour Map to study the motion across a given length of time

Fine Tuning the entire process of mapping

Now that you have a camera to view the motion Think of a situation when I am you need to decide what stuck in a traffic jam; how can I you have to capture! turn the experience more pleasant; something which is displayed on the car window pane.

Played and experimented with different colors and shapes. Number of cells that can be added to the entire composition.

Installation is a long running reactive display wall; it reacts to the motion of people around with shapes, colors and music. The composition freezes itself when people leave the screen; suspended state of color and shape. The continuity of the composition can be maintained by the music which actually starts again from the freeze state. May be a community art and sound installation which in turn is a result of the research done while tracking motion of vehicles.
