How to use a webcam with Labview8,Vision 8 in motion tracking?

[4]

I have a webcam and Labview 8, Vision Assistant Module 8, NI IMAQ for USB Cameras. What I concern is how to use a webcam in motion tracking? Should I just use Vision assistant or use it in combination with Labview? Do I need any other support?

Thanks for your post.  Vision Assistant is a good software package to prototype your system, but it does not give you access to all Vision methods.  LabVIEW is much more powerful allowing full access to Vision.  You may want to use Vision Assistant to play with the algorithms (you can use your mouse to set regions of interest, etc) and then once you find the methods and parameters that work, implement the code in LabVIEW.

Thanks,
