These kinds of tasks require massive computational efforts and thus usually are the domain of more performant languages - like C. A great library for that is Intel's OpenCV. And incidentially Gary Bishop has some nice ctypes-bindings for OpenCV. http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~gb/wp/blog/2007/02/04/python-opencv-wrapper-using-ctypes/ Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
