In this post, we are going to see how to detect and track movements(simply motion detection and tracking) using the OpenCV module. At first, you need to install the OpenCV-python module, to install the module just open your command prompt and type, pip install OpenCV-python Then hit enter, it will install the module automatically. After installing the module, just import the module and write the basic code to read the video. # import the opencv module import cv2 # capturing video capture = cv2.VideoCapture( "videos/input.mp4" ) After that, we have to get the two frames from the video or webcam and find the difference between the two frames, which is nothing but if there is a movement that occurs between the frames there might be a difference. So, here we are trying to get the difference using the cv2.absdiff() function in the OpenCV module and this method takes two parameters which are the two frames. # find difference between two frames diff = cv2.absdiff(img_1 , img_2) T...
