Advice on Background Subtraction

Question

Hi,

I'm new at openCV programming, and my final project requires I use Background Subtraction, however I am having trouble understanding it.

I would appreciate any help in understanding it, as it is urgent.

i mean, can anybody explain the algorithm of it and could you send me the program?? please.........

Answer 1

Donovan Parks has several of the advance algorithms but I am wondering if you just want to do simple background subtraction? If you want something simpler the algorithm is 1) subtract foreground from the background frame 2) threshold the scene.

OpenCV has routines for both of these. Can you be more specific about what you want/need help with?
