Reconstruct the Background of a Video — backgrounder • trackRai

This function attempts to reconstruct the background of a video that was filmed from a fixed point of view.

Usage

backgrounder(
  video,
  n = 10,
  method = "median",
  prob = 0.025,
  start = NULL,
  end = NULL
)

video: A Python/OpenCV VideoCapture object.
n: The number of images of the video that will be used to reconstruct the background.
method: The name of a method to reconstruct the background. There are currently 4 methods available: "mean" (uses the average value of each pixel as background), "median" (uses the median value of each pixel as background), "min" (uses the minimum value of each pixel as background), "max" (uses the maximum value of each pixel as background), and "quant" (uses an arbitrary quantile value of each pixel as background).
prob: If method = "quant", the quantile value to use.
start, end: The start and end frames of the video to use for the background reconstruction. If not set, the first and last frames will be used.

A Python/Numpy array.
