I'm starting to look into some motion detection techniques. I got some distance with pure data + gridflow (the [#motion_detection] object behaves quite nicely -- it takes the difference between frames but includes some other tweaks for a cleaner signal).
But what I really wanted to do was divide the image into nine blocks, run motion detection independently on each one, and have information about where in the frame the motion is happening and also movement from region to region. That became a problem, largely because gridflow's documentation has to rank among the worst I've ever seen. (Such as: "Inlet 2: crosshairs." Oh, very nice. Yes, out of the thousands of possible things that could mean, we're to psychically divine the one that is actually correct.) So I'm looking for recommendations on other open-source approaches. OpenCV+processing maybe, but for some reason willowgarage.com is blocked on the mainland (so I have to rely on a proxy that isn't always stable). That means learning another computer language on short order, not sure I have time. Can anybody think of something that would be closer to what I have in mind out of the box? Just to save me some development time reinventing the wheel.
