Motion tracking can be done easily in GEM with a combination of [pix-background] to create a histrogram showing only changed pixel values, and [pix_blob] to track the center of gravity of those changed values.

quantise them).
Hi all!,
what is the generic motion detector you are using Mathieu? I use pdp...
