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.

Hello Max,

In your patch, you need to put the crosses "on" the rectangle showing
movement. These crosses and rectangle are in the same plan. Therefore,
you need to render, first, the rectangle and after the crosses.
Inside the subpatch "draw_blob", you have a [gemhead 90], which one is
banged each time it has a cross to render. But, this [gemhead 90] is
rendered many times (or not) during your main [gemhead] (in the main
windows).
If you open the subpatch "draw_blob", you can see that i add a
[loadbang] and a [0 ( to stop the render of [gemhead 90] each frame,
because the render is forced (many times or not) by a bang from the main
[gemhead] and because you needn't to render this [gemhead 90] during the
'normal' render cycle.
You can easily replace [gemhead 90] with [gemhead 10] and get exactly
the same result.
If you want, it should be possible to replace this [gemhead 90] with a
[gemlist].
Hope the explanations are clear. I give here a small example to understand.

Jack
