help processing

good morning,

i have to realize an interactive vertical projection with the shapes of people walking in the space, and i have to add at shapes a different number.
The cam-video has a stop-image of 7 sec every 5 sec (so it will be likea stop-motion effect).
I never worked in Processing before but i tried to do a couple of patches. I don't know if they will be usefull.
I need about the multitracking.. I saw OpenCV on internet but i'm not able to create the libraries. I tried to do this but it was not possible and i don't know why...(i've a Mac). I'm thinking to start from the multiblob code to make the shapes.
i wish about some help please......the deadline is the 3th of january.

thank u so much!!!

Please use the "code" button when posting code :smiley: it looks like a '#' on the toolbar.

But as for processing goes, you will have much better luck I'm sure, over in the Processing forums.. these forums are dedicated to Arduino. :smiley:
