I'm making an installation and i want to register if somebody is in a space that i aim the webcam to. This I want to do from above, so i only register the head and the shoulders. The space is one clear space with a yellow floor. I've found cv.jit.label. And how can i get the X and Y coordinates from that person. Is this the right one to use. I'm sending the data back to Processing.

If you're just tracking one person, you should have no problem. You can even try jit.findbounds and not use the cv.jit objects at all, but you may need to (definitely if you track multiple people). The output of cv.jit is in matrix form, so try jit.print first to see what's coming out, then jit.spill to get the values you want. I imagine you won't need the blob area (third element in the list), just use the first two for your X and Y coordinates.

Way nice! thanks man! THis sounds like an easy job. I love the combination of Processing and MAX MSP. I'm getting used to it.
