rememberthis

Hello, I am new to Max/msp jitter and although I am beginning to understand the basics, I am having a little trouble with this. I would like to use my computers on board webcam to sense motion and then play an audio clip if motion is detected. In other words, I would like to detect motion then send a single bang message to toggle a clip on if motion is present. I know this has been done, and I have browsed the forums but haven't quite found anything explaining the Max side of things. Can anyone show me an example or please point me in the right direction.

Here's a simple example that should get you going.

Thank you for the patch. I ultimately came to roughly the same concept yesterday, however your patch got the job done in a much more clear and concise manner, I appreciate the help.

Here's the same patch, but with another part using cv.jit.sum

Great thanks a lot. I am planning to use the data to toggle different movie clips. What should I be looking for to add to this patch?

Zachary's patch is a very good start point but you may be also interested in these topics:

 (there is an example patch in my post, which may be inspiring for you - it's an old stuff, but still works and as a general algorithm also is simple to transform into something more connected to the current jitter techniques (e.g. processing on GPU);

 (just follow the link, grab the ZIP I posted in this topic and check the second example).
