Java Media Framework (JMF)

Hey guys, I have been googling about the Java Media Framework that allows video, audio and other time based media to be added to java applications. We can capture webcam streams and stream the same over internet. It can even be used for simple motion detection and similar tasks.
I am looking forward to learning more but not getting the right sources for a beginner. Can you guys suggest some good sites or books that might help ?
Also I am considering using this technology for my final year computer engineering project. Any suggestions for the same are welcome...

Thank you.

Interesting. Wondering how it's different from the MS Kinect toolkit. What idea do you have in your mind for the project?

It is possible to detect motion and also simple shapes (by specifying what color we want to track)...so i was thinking about a simple game (like ping pong or ice-hockey) that could be controlled using simple hand movements in front of the webcam.
Or even a virtual paint application where we paint using just gestures will be good...
These are just ideas for now...will have to do some digging in this context...

Interesting ..Never heard of them. There some libraries like OpenCV for C/C++ and JavaCV using java can be used for motion detection.
you can search Motion Detection using Java Libraries for more material about it.
I just searched and find following links may be it can help you-

#-Link-Snipped-# thanks bro. The first link is quite good, got some crazy ideas in there.
Also i would like to get it clarified : Is JavaCV an alternative to JMF or these two technologies are to be worked together ? Haven't really got much on JavaCV, so i ask...

I also have to look more about it. Didn't know anything about it.

As it appears, JavaCV is a wrapper for OpenCV (Open source Computer Vision) developed by intel for use in applications where the systems has to virtually see or track down objects or colours and then process them.
It is much better than JMF as JMF is very old.
It allows the tracking of certain objects and then when we obtain the co-ordinates of this object(eg. our finger tip) we can use those co-ordinates to control something else (like the mouse pointer) thus controlling the mouse with our hands via webcam. Sounds fun, doesn't it ?

Yeah... Didn't know about that ...
Thanks for posting in detail....
