video-computer connection

["Richard J. Thompson, Jr." <rthompson@MCMURRY.MCM.EDU>]

Hello,

I have heard of people using video cameras to record the motion of an object
and then analyzing the
images on a computer.  I would like to do something along these lines, but I
have no idea how to
go about it.  If someone could point me towards a primer of the necessary
information concerning
both hardware and software needs, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks very much,
