Hi,
Forgive me if my question is something trivial.
I have the following problem.
We have a video tape recorded on a highway from the side of the road.
I need to somehow identify the vehicles passing by without somebody watch the
tape for couple hours.
I have a relatively simple frame grabber which is able to capture video data
60 times per second with 64 grayscale.  What I'd like to do is to move the
video to a series of image files and process them.
Is there an algorithm to detect moving obect from a series of images ?
Graphics and Image processing is new to me and I don't know where to look for.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
