First Deliverable ..

Well, a7l, the first deliverable is out .. Thanks to Fouad, the hero!!

Fouad wrote a small application (C++, WTL) that discovers the available camera drivers on the machine, allows you to pick any connected camera or video file (.avi or .mpg n I guess .mov) .. starts a video stream from either source .. and finally produces a sequence of "frames" from that stream ..
There's a callback function where you'll receive a byte array (the bitmap, the frame), its size, and BITMAPINFOHEADER struct that holds all necessary details about the passed bitmap (width, height, stride, etc.) ..
The next step is to execute a Blob Detection algorithm on each frame to detect the present blobs ..

One last thing, I updated the project proposal I sent five days ago and sent it again to ITWorx, sent with the new logo for Touchwork ..
I sent it @ 5:56pm .. 5 hrs and 5 min earlier than the deadline this time!!!
