I don't quite understand why people do motion detection with squares like 
that. I use a generic motion detection that gets me the centre of the 
motion, and then when I rescale the values, it may split the possible 
results into bands or squares because of rounding (if I quantise them).

Nevertheless, if I have a picture of size (240 320 3), I can make groups 
of rows and columns, for example I [#redim (15 16 20 16 3)], which turns a 
picture into a 5-dimensional grid, and then if I [#transpose 1 2], I will 
have a 5-dimensional grid that is a 2-dimensional grid of 16x16 icons. 
After that, many effects and analyses that GF can do on pictures will also 
work on such groups of pictures without any change.

But more simply, if I want an average of each 16x16 icon, I don't need to 
go 5-dimensional, I can just do [#downscale_by 16 smoothly] and that's 
all.

I'd like to know what it takes for you to call something «essential». Do 
you mean that there is no other way to do it with Pd, or just no other way 
to do with with PDP ?

There's [#in~], which is rather experimental. It uses [#to~].
