The BoofCv service is a wrapper for the BoofCV open source Java library for real-time computer vision and robotics applications.

It has a lot more possibilities than what has been used in MRL so far.

If you use the example script, you can draw a rectangle in the videostream, and BoofCv will try to track that area.

Examples:

#file : service/BoofCv.py edit raw
#########################################
# BoofCV.py
# description: used as a general template
# categories: [general]
# possibly more info @: http://myrobotlab.org/service/BoofCV
#########################################
# start the service
boofcv = Runtime.start("boofcv","BoofCv")

# create a tracker - source is webcame 
# jframe is displayed
# your supposed to select with mouse the area you
# want to track
tracker = boofcv.createTracker()
tracker.start()
sleep(10)
# stop tracker
tracker.stop()

No, the OpenCv filters are specific for OpenCv ( I think ). I haven't tried BoofCv on the Pi yet, so I don't know. I'm just trying to go thru the services and create a servicpages for the services, that don't have one. BoofCv seems to be a very interesting project / service, and should get some more attention.  

If you want to use the Kinect, you need to installl the freenect drivers.
