Because our application was microscopy and we had specimen who were stopping their movement for a while before moving on, the continuity approach wasn't working. Since we based the blob detection on frame differences [pix_movement] rather than background subtraction from a reference frame [pix_background] blobs who were resting for a few frames simply disappeared and got a new ID assigned.
> Our approach is to set a time-out after we declare a blob dead. If it starts moving in the same region (size is settable too) again before the time-out, we pick up the old ID. So rather than using movement vectors as reference we used proximity. All data is stored in tables.

Sorry, i didn't see your patch in your previous post.
If I try to open it, i get :
 arraysize blob_ids
... couldn't create

What is [arraysize] ?
