FeaturesTracking

The goodFeaturesToTrack function from OpenCV serves as an artistic technique in digital and generative art by automatically detecting key corner points and high-contrast features in an image using the Shi-Tomasi method.

In video art, these points are tracked across frames via optical flow, generating motion lines that reveal hidden scene dynamics or create abstract patterns akin to glitch art and data-driven aesthetics.
