You english syntax is somewhat laboured. I suggest having a technically
oriented English speaker rewrite the document. I would do it for 20
dollars per page, 50% payable in advance. No, I am not kidding. That is
dirt cheap. It could take up to an hour per page to make the language
comply with academic technical standards.

In short. it deals with building a camera WHICH HAS THE CAPABILITY OF
TRACKING
any object. I had to build a USB development board based on the motorola
MC68HC908JB8,
write the monitor to upload the firmware under Linux, write the
firmware FOR THE MOTOROLA "PROCESSOR", write the user application THAT
PROCESSED THE
CAMERA INPUT, compute INTERPRETED MOVEMENT IN THE VIRTUAL FIELD
GENERATED BY THE INPUT,
and PRODUCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR the USB board to OPERATE the servo motors
ACTUATING the
camera.
