I'd love to see an example implementation of this as a patch, if anyone is up for it. A lot of students ask me for this kind of video tracking. It would be good to add to the video tracking examples.

I implemented Miller's phase vocoder from the documentation in C and
was amazed to see that the CPU load was exactly the same. So much for
improving efficiency...  But I have seen a big difference for
traversing tables and lists. The process of summing the elements in a
large table is much faster in an extern than with an [until] loop.

In the case of [pix_motion_sector], what's the easiest way to
duplicate the functionality of reporting % of pixels changed in the
region? Is there an obvious way to count up the number of pixels that
crossed [pix_movement]'s threshold in the cropped region?
[pix_dump] ? Maybe a faster method ?

Yes - it's exactly that: an adaptation of pix_movement that lets you
specify an area to analyze. That way you can use several instances to create multiple regions for triggering different events. I haven't looked at this in two years! I'll take a look at the helpfile and see what's
missing/unclear.

what's the difference between that, and using [pix_crop] and [pix_movement]
with [pix_separator] ?


Please correct me if I'm wrong,
Doesn't having these as externals instead of abstractions, make it
significantly faster/efficient?
particularly if you have many of them?


no not necessarily.
the overhead for message communication between objects is usually quite
small, compared to the pixel operations.

you would only need [pix_crop]->[pix_movement] without the
[pix_separator] (since the crop will have to allocate a new image
anyhow), thus no need for the extra copying of data.

the only speedup you could expect from pix_motion_sector (i haven't
looked at the code), is that you wouldn't have to copy the data for
cropping at all, but only use the pixels in the ROI.


as for williams argument, that you need less objects, i would suggest looking into abstractions :-) it's definitely less lines of code (at a
minimum 10 lines of Pd code) and still only a single object...
