Hi,

I've recently been asked to develop a 'Photo Booth'.
Now I face the following problem: The picture is taken with a green screen on the background. This green background must be replaced with a default, custom background image. This technique is called 'Chroma Key'. I've read a lot about this technique, but now I'm thinking how I can implement this technique.

Should I use CUDA coding or is there a straight C# programming technique to implement 'Chroma Key'?

Does anyone else here have some experience with this matter?

Google is a great start. I don't personally know anything about Chroma Key replacement other than the theory behind it, but I got 214,000 results for "Chroma Key Implementation C#" in there. You are likely to find something pretty good in there.

Don't think I haven't googled it already. Like i said, I've read a lot about the technique and the implementation. I just want to know if someone else on the CP has experience in this matter

sorry Wannes for making the assumption. Most questions we get here that don't explicitly show us that the subject has been searched aren't. As far as a practical implementation, I can't help you at all. Sorry.
