BGSLibrary

A Background Subtraction Library

Last page update: 31/07/2022

Library Version: 3.2.0 (see Build Status and Release Notes for more info)

The BGSLibrary was developed early 2012 by Andrews Sobral to provide an easy-to-use C++ framework (wrappers for Python, Java and MATLAB are also available) for foreground-background separation in videos based on OpenCV. The bgslibrary is compatible with OpenCV 2.4.x, 3.x and 4.x, and compiles under Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Currently the library contains 43 algorithms. The source code is available under the MIT license, the library is available free of charge to all users, academic and commercial.

• Library architecture

• Installation instructions

You can either install BGSLibrary via pre-built binary package or build it from source via:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/andrewssobral/bgslibrary.git

• • Windows installation
• • Ubuntu / OS X installation

Supported Compilers are:

GCC 4.8 and above
Clang 3.4 and above
MSVC 2015, 2017, 2019 or newer

Other compilers might work, but are not officially supported. The bgslibrary requires some features from the ISO C++ 2014 standard.

• Graphical User Interface:

• • C++ QT (Official)
• • C++ MFC (Deprecated)
• • Java (Obsolete)

• Wrappers:

• • Python
• • MATLAB
• • Java

• Docker images
