A Shape-Based Approach to Computer Vision Musical Performance Systems

In this paper, I will describe a computer vision-based musical performance system that uses morphological assessments to provide control data. Using shape analysis allows the system to provide qualitative descriptors of the scene being captured while ensuring its use in a wide variety of different settings. This system was implemented under Max/MSP/Jitter, augmented with a number of external objects. (1) Keywords Computer vision, image analysis, morphology, MaxMSP, musical control
