Hi I'm trying to track my mouse with a web cam onto the screen so that the movement becomes a line. At the moment it takes the average movement and draws up a line, but there is also a lot of squares drawn out that I would like to get rid of. Pleaaaaaaase help me?

Best,
Jenny

This is how it looks at the moment:



The code I'm using is:
/*

the green oval is an averaged position of all the detected dark movement in the camera's view.

physical setup:
 - make sure there is a strong value contrast between your hand and a white background.
 - set all camera settings to "manual" for the most stable results.
 
last tested to work in Processing 0090
