If you have a static camera it can be quite trivial:

Static image - current image = changes in the image, which are usually targets. The hard part is then finding and tracking the targets. It can require quite a bit of memory. You will need external memory for the frame buffering.

The solutions Ive seen use a processor and FPGA. The FPGA does the image pre-processing with the processor taking the thresholded image and tracking the targets.
