"Tagging object in video stream"

Hello,

I was wondering, is it possible to tag (to mark) a person or object in a
video stream using VB6 and Directshow.
I think you have to use a Motion Detection System to detect the moving
objects. But it becomes complicated when there are several moving objects in
the screen!
Can someone help me with this?

Thx in advance,

Don't hold your breath waiting for an answer in here. We rarely deal with
stuff that complex in this group. You might try
microsoft.public.vb.winapi.graphics, but ultimately to may have to resort to
a general graphics group to get the concept and then go back to the VB
groups for implementation.
