Object tracking without canvas element?

[animdan]

Am wondering, is it possible to not use a canvas element since for my application I don't need to display the selection borders while tracking? I just need to fetch the selection rectangle position coordinates (perhaps created with a visible colored div border or SVG border via mouse selection marquee) as it invisibly (display:none) tracks the object on a video. Any thoughts?

You don’t need to use canvas. The api gives you coordinates per frame and then you can decide what to do with them

Neat, I'll dig deeper and see what else I can do. Thx.
