MATLAB: How to plot trajectories of a bird in a video sequence

I have an IR video and I would like to plot the trajectory of the bird in successive frames…

Can anyone suggest me a way to do this ?

I don't know exactly, however here are some broad steps:

1. Read video file into MATLAB: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/videoreaderclass.html

2. For each frame, use some algorithm to determine where the bird is. Does "IR" mean infrared? If so, is the bird the thing with the most intensity?

3. Store x,y bird location for each frame, then use plot function to plot the data.

Sorry for the vague answer. Hope this is what you were looking for
