How do I track an object with a unibrain Fire-i DV camera?

Hello,
Thank you for reviewing my question. Presently I am trying to track the motion of a black dot (the size a quarter), on my wrist using a Unibrain Fire-i digital camera @30fps (1), IMAQ 1394 drivers, Vision 7.0, and LabVIEW 7.1. This is two dimensional planar motion and what I would like to do is plot the position vs. time, velocity vs. time, and accleration vs time on a graph. Does anyone have any example tracking motion vi's or ideas on how to accomplish such a task?
I ran across the following website, http://synapse.vit.iit.nrc.ca/Nouse/index2.html , that tracks the position of a person’s nose and would love to create a similar LabVIEW tool. I am a beginner at the LabVIEW vision processing tools...soon to become an expert ...but have used Redlake MotionScope before in the past to track the motion of a spool for vibrational/modal analysis. Something similar to this software or MiDAS (2) would work great for my application. Any ideas? Sounds like an excellent subVI for NI Engineers to develop


Thank you for your help and I look forward to your response,
Travis

Hi Travis,

I posted a reply to your other thread on the Machine Vision board. Lets use that thread for further communication. heres a link:
