In my first post, I talked about two ideas that I was working on. I will now elaborate on one of those ideas:

The idea would start with taking in video footage in the form of an .MOV file. It would either involve taking the footage straight from one to three video cameras (replicating the top, side, and frontal views in a 3D viewport) or from any video I could convert into a .MOV.

Once the .MOVs are imported into the application, I could either go one of two routes. I could then plot points on the video footage that would correspond to ones on a 3D model I have. I could also draw a skeleton that would correspond to an armature on a 3D model. Either way, I could use this information to generate IPO curves to either take into Blender or the Unity Game Engine.

I already know that one can use MAX/MSP/JITTER with Blender through Jython (available at loadbang.net) and Unity through mu (created by Virginia Tech). The question I really have is how to get the points I would create in this application of mine to track the subjects from the video. Essentially, I am creating a motion capture application that would not involve the big, expensive equipment or software. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pardon me for being a ditz and wasting anyone's time. I forgot about cv.jit and its creator. I have since redirected the question at him. Therefore, please disregard this post.

Can one motion track in Jitter?
