title: Python Script to Track a Laser Pointer
abstract: I'm looking for a Python script that will use a USB web camera to detect a laser pointer and move the mouse to the location and then click. Main script functions: Must be able to pick the camera wanted from a list. Must have a calibration system to automatically setup the region that's needed to be detected. Must be able to run in the background. Must be optimized. What will the script do? The point of the script to detect a laser pointer, move the mouse to the x and y location and perform a single left click. The camera will not be able to be placed directly in front the screen it will need to detect the laser pointer so it will need to be calibrated. This needs to be accurate!
