There is also GridFlow, which has strong capabilities of analysis. However you should download the latest via CVS, as it is much more stable than the latest archive 0.7.2. (version 0.8.0 will be released in September)
in GridFlow, getting frame differences on a video stream is as easy as plugging a video stream into [t a a] into a [@ -] with wires crossed, which is a quite natural technique to a PD user. GridFlow extends simple numeric concepts to whole pictures.
