Video P*r*o*b*i*n*g / Re: moving axis with captured pictures or video

spunk,
CopyCat is a a program which will allow you to jog around and create gcode from the movements.
There is a manual in the Members Docs for it. The program is included with Mach3 installation and is one of the addons / plugins. To save the code you will need a license for MACH3 ADD-Ons.
It will not do what you are asking for.
The closest thing i can think of is what some of the video surveilence cameras do, in that the camera will follow movement. That may give you a clue on what is needed. For Mach to follow something you would need some kind of feedback info into the controller to put out pulses to the axis drives. Never saw anything posted in here.
BTW, i would assume that as accuracy becomes important so will the complexities of it all.
LOL on Zeroing In,
RICH
