Just to follow-up my original post...

In doing some research, I've found: Videoorbits from: http://comparametric.sourceforge.net

Which basically does what I want. It takes a video (in a very specific frame by frame format) and runs it through a 4-stage process, ending with a single composite image.

Now, I have no idea how fast it runs, or if it can even run at all on something like an N810, but I'd like to find out. However, it's a little beyond my current abilities.

As I see it, here are the steps to get there:

1) compile videooribits on the N810 (I've not set up a sandbox nor compiled anything yet.)

2) get some app that can pull a video stream from the N810 camera.

3) convert that video stream to the format required by videoorbits.

4) run the video through the conversion process

5) convert the resulting image into something that Hike can use.

So, okay, this is a lot of work... Currently, it is also beyond my skill level and I'm not sure how to proceed. I could just go off and, in my spare time, tinker with the various steps, learning as I go, until I get it working. Which, given my spare time allotment, will leave me with a working system sometime after Warp-drive technology is obsolete (just being honest). Another option would be to start a project in the Garage with the hopes of attracting more skilled individuals. Or, I could just let it go in the hopes that someone else might read this and be interested??????

Maybe if someone could just do step 1 for me? Pretty please? An Armel deb of the videoorbits package? Once I get the command-line vidoeorbits tools in the N810, I can figure out whether or not the basic process is possible with limited memory and processing power.

(still trying to find some use for that video camera, besides taking pictures of my nose)

P.S. "...a project like that in Processing"
Where is this "processing" that you speak of?
