Background subtraction in OpenCV / EmguCV with fixed background


I need some samples / source code for a background subtraction algorithm for using with fixed backgrounds. The background I use is a fixed color background and unfortunately all the samples I've seen so far work for dynamic backgrounds.

Thank you.


Solution

  • What about simple frame subtraction? One frame is always the same - it's background, and another frame is frame from videostream. Convert both of them to grayscale and do absdiff operation. Here's my video result (look at center frame).
