Hello, I'm trying to work on a project in Python that involves the use of a webcam to track a laser pointer. I found some example code here http://janto.blogspot.com/2006/01/motion-capture-in-python.html, but the problem is that it's quite slow (about a sec to process a 800 by 600 image). Can anyone who has experience with computer vision help me? Are there any existing algorithms for finding a color in an image and plotting its coordinates? It would help me very much.
the profile.py output from the example can be found here if anyone's interested http://heightened.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/output.txt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
