Beacon tracking feasibility

Hi all,I'm interested in having a UAV track a moving beacon. I'm thinking some secondary camera / processing, and infrared LEDs on the object to be tracked.This would obviously be in addition to the inherent existing capabilities of the Ardupilot.I don't have my own Ardupilot setup yet, so I can't judge the overall weight/layout feasibility (in an EZ Star for example). Not to mention the technical difficulties.Is there consumer equipment out there that is capable of processing what is essentially an "ignore everything but this beacon" video feed, and provide usable data?Thanks!John C.
