Images: Remove background?

[DevBoyLars]

Hello,
is it possible with LiveCode to take a photo with the camera and remove the background of an object? I mean an object on a rich contrast background.

Thank you

Hi DevBoyLars,

All forms of Image manipulation are quite complex in their nature so although it should be possible to achieve a remove image background effect, I can see it involving quite a bit of scripting. The following lesson set might be able to give you some leads with manipulating images in LiveCode-

The lessons I would focus on are blur, threshold, grayscale and edge detect.

Keep us posted on how you get on.


Kind Regards,
