This project done in opencvdotnet is very similar to my project http://code.google.com/p/opencvdotnet/. I tried doing this, but opencvdotnet works with older versions visual studio. I am using VS 2008. I am open to suggestions.

Alright first things first, I want to apologize for not being clear enough. I am doing a project in C# called User Initiated Real Time Object Tracking. What I want is, take input from a webcamera to a picturebox(done using dshownet), then draw a rubber band rectangle on the video(say on a person's face/eye/nose/whole body - i think i am going to scope it down to face) using a mouse, then I want to track the area enclosed by the rubber band rectangle. I am currently going through dshownet bitmapmixer sample in the samples folder to draw on a video(no success yet, i have done the rubberband rectangle, its now a matter of making it work on top of the video). My main issue is to track, what is enclosed within the rubber band rectangle(after the rectangle is drawn it stays visible, unless erased with a button command). JF2015 said to go through Face and eyes Detection(I dont do detection in my project really). Well I might be wrong. The way I think of it is as this, I think if I could consider the area outside the rectangle as the background, and the extract the colour histograms of the area within the rectangle(foreground) and check if it pops up in the subsequent frames, I can successfully track[I actually dont know how to achieve this via code]. Is this correct ?? By the way, I consider the tracker to be the rectangle, which will stay visible as long as the video is streaming and move along with the person in the video. To start off, I am experimenting all this with a saved video file. That is all. I hope you have a good idea now. Thank you for your time.

ok i understand what you are trying to say. I can limit my project scope to identify, the face of a human, and use that to track the location of the human. My main concern is not detection but tracking. I want the tracker, which is the rectangle to move with the human but it must stay glued to the right eye(coz thats where i have drawn it).

good guess. but i didnt ask u to do the coding for me perhaps a link to a sample would suffice like how william winner had given. Do appreciate you taking the time though, to answer.
