Blob Tracking with POPs – TouchDesigner Tutorial 76

In this TouchDesigner tutorial we look at the popular blob tracking technique using POPs by converting our image into points and using Math Combine, Delete, Particles and Proximity etc. to recreate the effect.
I know this effect has been around for a while, but now we can approach it with POPs, which is faster and more flexible.

Expressions for the table:
1) round(((me.inputCell / (parent().width/parent().height)) + 0.5) * parent().width, 2)
2) round((me.inputCell + 0.5) * parent().height, 2)
