Video shape recognition

    Hi
    I was wondering is there a software package available that could recognise a shape from a video you run.
    Eg if i had a video file running, it would pick out say a triangle any time it appeared within the video. Preferably one that you could teach the shapes you are looking for. Or a company that might do this sort of work.
    It is for a project Iam working on. So any help would be great.

    OpenCV is a popular computer vision (that's the general field you're talking about here, for future reference) library, AFAIK it has functionality that will help this sort of thing;

    I think "shape classification" is what the particular problem is called, Google should turn up plenty of research on the topic.

    Re companies, there are quite a few I think, though mostly they work in security/defense, medical imaging, etc, and aren't likely to be either cheap or accessible.
