The lower display window shows the entire webcam video. The upper window shows the current snapshot until the next one is taken. For motion tracking, jit.rgb2luma is often used to identify an moving object. This command caught my attention. By jit.unpack and jit.pack the color get changed in and bright yellow for the background and bright red for the moving object. The trigger of the microphone is set very low to take a snapshot. Even a big bite into an apple can set it off.
