That's quite a project. You may want to consider the awesome
RoboRealm vision software. It's free and it works quite well for
target tracking. That could save you a ton of work. I experimented a
little with it. You can stream the X,Y coordinates of a located
target out of the serial port of the host PC. I was amazed that
within a couple of hours of downloading the software I could track my
cat across the living room floor. It helped that he was the largest
black object in the room.
