pix_compare will do something similar by comparing the luma of each 
pixel in two streams, and either copies the right pixel if it's lighter 
('direction 1') or darker ('direction 0').  You could possibly modify 
that code to your needs as well.

I wrote some basic analysis objects like that a few years ago, but they 
didn't seem all that useful.  They were part of the yuv_ objects, which 
are no longer part of GEM, but they are still in CVS under some old 
branches.

Is there any general interest in having some specialized objects like 
this in GEM?  They are simple to write and quite easy to code up in 
SIMD for speed.
