hey, In the multiblob.pd pactch that u addded (i got it ffrom svn) i cant even open it. PD crashes when i try to open the patch(infact i cant even see the window with the patch when i click on multiblob.pd). Is the camera enabled by default in this patch? (because i got a similar error when using the #camera module, crashing PD). Could u not include the #camera section? I wa thinking of getting a .mov file into te patch and trying outt he multiblob algo on it instead of a video feed from the camera(i can add the .mov part ). or should i just use the algo as seen the screen shot u gave?

I'm finally adding examples/multiblob.pd based on the screenshot of occupants-video.pd found in that screenshot. However I cut out the mask made by [# &] for columns 312-319, because this was specifically for a camera that had a lot of noise in those columns.
I'm also merging in some parts that were never seen, from later versions of the patch (after the screenshot that you know). One of the "new" features is the rotation of the crosses.
I'm also cutting off some useless things from that patch, and I don't just mean the parts marked as "unused", I mean object combinations that were detours that existed only because of the way I made the patch in the first place.
Eventually, I might replace the thresholder by a complete colour detector.
new screenshot at http://gridflow.ca/gallery/multiblob2.png
new patch is at http://gridflow.ca/svn/trunk/examples/multiblob.pd (just use svn update)
I made some changes after making the screenshot: crosses aren't square anymore (change in #make_cross.pd) and the selected areas are now dotted white with some kind of 1/6 stipple.
