Description:

A software for camera-projector interaction was developed by Juan Roldan, Ushakiran Soutapalli, Julien Faucher, and Jan Wedekind at the Microsystem & Machine Vision Laboratory (MMVL) at Sheffield Hallam University, UK.

The software makes use of a low cost off-the shelf webcam that is calibrated against a standard projector screen (note that at the moment the new video for linux standard version 2 (V4L2) is not supported yet). The webcam is used to determine the position of physical pointer (e.g. a pen) which is then used to virtually move the X11 pointer. Point-and-click functionality has also been implemented.

The wizard allows you to take a reference picture showing the pointer. You then have to select the region in the image for generating a reference histogram. If you are using a projector, make sure that the desktop has a bright background. Otherwise the pointer will be illuminated differently and it will not be recognized any more.

Donnie Bhayangkara has built a package of mando-1.6 for openSuSE 10.3 which can be downloaded here:
http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=openSUSE%3A10.3&p=1&q=mando

For a video see

Mando now has a new project page at Sourceforge:

I ran the sh ./configure and I end up getting the following message:

configure: error: Check for XTestFakeMotionEvent in -lXtst failed

what do I need to do?

a) Maybe you still need to install libXtst.so. See rpmseek.com for the corresponding rpm-file of your distribution:
http://search.rpmseek.com/search.html?cs=libXtst.so.6:FN:0:0:0:0
b) Maybe libXtst.so is not in the library-path. If for example libXtst.so is in the directory /usr/X11R6/lib64, you could try configuring with:
./configure LDFLAGS='-L/usr/X11R6/lib64'

If it does not help, let me know your Linux-distribution in your next posting.

You need to install GL, GLU, and glut.
On my system this are the packages:

  • xorg-x11-Mesa-devel

  • freeglut-devel

hi, looks pretty awesome, cant wait to try it (need projector first).

can kmando use two cameras so the presentator can move around more with out blocking the view?

what kind resolution of movement can it detect?

many of the pict show a stylus with a bright orange tip. is it needed?

Sorry about responding so late. I missed your posting due to loads of spam.
kmando can not use two cameras.

We are using a Logitech Quickcam 4000 with a resolution of 640x480. I don't remember the noise values, but the accuracy was sufficient to click on buttons with a size of 30x30 pixels (the screen resolution was 1280x1024). It depends on the camera resolution and how well you can position the camera.

We are using colour segmentation to detect the pointer. Therefore you need a pointer with a colour which is NOT present in the image. Recognition of the neon-colours of the marker-pen proved to be very robust. Maybe it is possible to use a laser-pointer as well. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to try this.

You don't need a projector. I also managed to make the application work with a TFT-monitor and a pencil (my finger unfortunately does not have a distinct colour). But on a small screen it is not so comfortable to use. Also it is difficult to position the camera. With a projector however it works much more stable.

NO apology is needed for me and thank you for answering all my questions. I do have a follow up with the stereo vision and resolution, but first, why the questions.

at my school we use quite a few "smart boards" - touch sensitive marker boards - in the class room. they are junk and proprietary (a redundancy?)

to replace with a solution such as kmando, we need to be able to stay out of the shadow and high enough res to use handwriting recognition.

i understand kmando may not be a drop in solution (free as in freedom not free as in beer), but i trying to decide if it could be a solution.

the stereo seemed like a cheap (hardware) idea to take care of the shadow but it may increase the resolution of control too. Is the architecture incompatible with stereo, or the current version does not support it?

Of course a touch sensitive marker board does not have the problem of a person blocking the view of the sensor. Also kmando cannot detect, wether you are touching the screen or not. Mouse-clicks are issued when the cursor is not moving for an adjustable period of time. At the moment the application has two modes: one for issuing mouse-clicks and one for drag-and-drop. I think one can use kmando for giving presentations. But if you want to write on a screen like on a chalk board, the current system is not sufficient (believe me, I tried).

The problem with using two webcams is that most Linux drivers are only tested with a single camera. Capturing from two Logitech cameras didn't work. However capturing from a bttv card (which has 8 channels) did work. So our grabbing software seems to be capable of grabbing from multiple cameras. It also may be possible already to launch two instances of kmando. But ideally you would want a single application with an algorithm for sensor-fusion. The current version does not support this.

My colleague had the idea to use a Linux-compatible laser pointer with usb-remote (for example see http://www.lasersale.com/catalog/display_products.asp?cat=89) . But as I said, so far I didn't test laser-pointers at all. If anyone tries a laser-pointer: Please let me know, wether it works.

 Problem

Hello.

I am trying to get this program to work on my TFT screen. Installation went fine (on Arch Linux with the latest source from this site) and when I start Kmando I go to 'Configure'. I can see the image of my webcam and I point it to see my whole screen. I calibrate the screen and it correctly detects the 5 centerpoints (red cross). When I press next again it asks me to "Capture a reference image for color segmentation".
I can grab an image but I can't press next. Why?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I didn't document this properly. You need to select the image of the pointer before you can proceed:

I've added an explanation to the graphical user-interface because many users were stopped by this problem.

Do you like or dislike Ubuntu Unity?
 Yes, unity is alien technology!
 It is less confusing than Gnome 3 default, shell.
 Granny thinks it is much more usable than Gnome 2
 Canonical is embarrasing itself with this split project
 Gnome 3 default shell is much better
 I dislike Unity, Gnome 3 default shell is alien technology!
 None of the above, I like the 2Gb for free and Apple alike behavior. Will post a comment instead
