I'm pretty new to Python, and even newer to Image/Video processing, and trying to get started on a project similar to GRL Vienna's laser marker. I found some sample code here http://janto.blogspot.com/2006/01/motion-capture-in-python.html, but after running the code with the included sample input file, it seems quite slow (1-2 seconds from start to finish to do the 800 by 600 gif image).
Is there a better way to do color tracking, or is Python just too slow as an interpreted language to do any effective color tracking? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
