Re: Tracking Rectangles with Perspective Distortion

Greg,

I really appreciate the help you are giving me.

So two things. How did you detect the rectangles even though in some of the pictures they were not rectangles? I can get some of the same results as you but I have to use edge detection, points of intersections and then I can measure angles and distance. However, that approach fails when I introduce multiple rectangles into the picture. My goal would be to measure angles and lengths or multiple rectangles even if I'm looking at them at some extreme angle.

Did you use the simple Shape Detection feature or did you use something else to detect the distorted rectangles? If you used something else or somehow tweeked the shape detector feature, it would be great if you could direct me to what settings I can play with to detect distorted rectangles. Thanks again for the quick response!
