The Blob and Motion

Blob tracking is defined as "mathematical methods that are aimed at detecting regions in a digital image that differ in properties". What I understand from my experience with playing it with is that an image of my creation or choice is projected in such a way based on it's 'mathematical' interaction with a live broadcast.

Motion tracking is defined as the insertion of computer graphics into live-action footage with correct position, scale, orientation, and motion relative to the photographed objects in the shot. Which again, my understanding is similar to the of what the Kinect for the Xbox accomplishes.

Here's a video representation of the two:
