TLD looks like a great tracking algorithm (I had already seen a predator video 
once and was amazed about how good it actually works) but isn't it "just" a 
tracking algorithm? How will that help with the actual recognition? Or am I 
misunderstanding you here?

If you are referring to the distance to the microphone: As this will mostly be 
applicable in controlled environments, tracking the location will likely use 
different techniques (like ZigBee).
