I need to do some face tracking, I've tried several different approaches and so far the best results are obtained from the built-in software of a Logitech webcam. the webcam's calibration window assigns red dots to the main features of human faces as shown in the image:[img]index.php?t=getfile&id=478&private=0[/img]

I am using jit.desktop to grab a region of the screen into max, I filter the matrix to get a binary image with only the tracking dots. I need now to do 2 things, 1.- to filter out the bounding box and to get coordinates of each dot.

I've tried with jit.findbounds but couldnt figure out how to track several instances of the same color, I've tried with some javascript conditionals but doesnt seem to run fast enough.

did you check the cv.jit lib? there are many useful things one is an 

object specialised on faces cv.jit.faces you can load a face model as 

an xml description. Quite amazing actually.
