request for suggestrions

[Jon Thorgrimsson]

I am new to image processing.

I require a tool which will return the x,y of an object in a black and white BMP file .  The BMP is a top view of an aquarium with very little clutter and a single fish.  The fish will be the largest object in the view with very predicable dimensions. You can also see the tank sides and a circular ring in the middle of the tank.

The researcher I am assisting requires to know the quadrant of the image which contains the fish and will be producing an image from a logitech camera every 20 seconds.

Any suggestions?

Thank you
Jon Thorgrimsson
