Retrieval Match Heat map, using HTML5

Taking inspiration from some work my supervisor did on the Digital Dance Archives website, exploiting a match heat map can help identify matches within a video.
Since I am currently pushing for everything to be done in HTML5, I started thinking about how I could achieve a similar effect utilising the <video> tag. So after googling around came across a blog for creating a custom player that is cross browser compatible. A custom player would allow me to be able to add in the heat map without much difficulty.
Here we go, some quick javascript to load the heat map pumped out of my indexing service. So if you are interesting in customising your own player explore an Opera guide, Building a custom HTML5 video player with CSS3 and jQuery.
Sadly I am currently just prototyping but I hope to get a full system released soon so you can see the full system in action, probably applied to generic key frame video retrieval.
