Java & Analysis of Live Video Feed

Hello,

I am researching ideas for a long term project and am currently
investigating Java's capability for processing live video feed.

I wish to examine digital video feed in real time and do such operations
as:

i) Define all pixels as either foreground or background (depending on
whether they have the same colour as the predefined background).

ii) Group these separate pixels into the objects they represent

iii) Track these objects

iv) When these objects make predefined patters, raise a flag (or alarm)
This could be extended to incorporate several live video feeds from
different angles to observe the same collection of objects.

I am confident that I will be able to create algorithms (or implement
those already created) required for the steps but need reassuring that the
Java language is capable of handling such visual processing.

If Java is capable...
Where do I begin?
Are there any existing java packages that can handle the input and
help with the processing of the image?
I really need help to begin 'examining' the digital feed, how can
this be done?

If Java isn't capable...
What languages\techn ology can perform such processing? (I am an
individual developer with limited resources)

Thank-you for your thoughts and insight regarding this matter,

Paul

Hi Paul,
If I have gotten your requirements right you need to use JMF (Java
Media Framework) ... but I am not too sure of how real time this will
be ..

it is avaliable for download on sun site.

Hello Java people, Been awhile since I've used Java, and when I did, it was pretty much XML stuff.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
