[PD] opencv motion tracker external HELP!

I haven't looked at this yet, and have no external coding experience.

However, I'm wondering if it would be an easier task to port this
library to mimic the pix_* objects in Gem? Maybe you could look at the
Gem source and figure out how to do this. Or better yet, compare the
code you have here with the pix_multiblob, and try to correct the
algorithms as was suggested earlier.

Good luck!!!
