Imagine that I have a moving object which is hot, above a certain threshold. I would like to design an algorithm to detect the area and track the movement of the object (for example predicting the direction of travel).
I was wondering what the best approach to solve this? I do not have a thermal camera, Can I use online thermal data like this link:

What type of image/video data do I need to use? gray8/gray16?
