I'm not sure I got this right, but what you need is a camera processor that detects IR spots?If yes I've done something similar with a regular camera, using image processing, see:http://www.pocketmagic.net/?p=520The algorithm was reliable because of the unique characteristics of the spot. For IR this should be better, but not all regular cameras are as sensitive to IR light.
This is actually, useful thanks.I need to be able to figure out the location of two points of IR light (IR LEDs). Maybe up to four, but two should be sufficient. The Wiimote camera is known for doing 4 points, and excellently. Do you know of a good IR sensitive camera I can do the above link with?

Do you know of a good IR sensitive camera I can do the above link with?If this is a question of optimal performance I don't have a top recommendation. But I can say that all the cameras I've tried (professional, webcams, phone-cameras) seemed to record the IR quite good. Playing with a remote in front of them showed bright spots as the remote buttons were pressed.So I'd say pick one that is most comfortable for you and it would probably work. And if you need help with the image processing I'd be more then happy to help since it was one of my favorite university course.
