Motion Detector

Gist:

  • The purpose of this open source personal project is to get a gist of how OpenCV works and manifests itself to create various Computer Vision applications.
  • This python script will allow you to detect motion in front of the camera that you are using while storing the time interval of the motion.
  • Language : Python
  • Libraries used : Pandas, OpenCV, Time

Upshot :

Videos, essentially, can be stored as a stack of image frames. The Tarantino movies that you so take pleasure in watching are, in their essence, a large amount of pictures shown in rapid enough succession. Fun Fact - A human brain needs atleast 24 frames per second to perceive a series of image frames as a video. Here, I am trying to compare different frames in the succession to the initial static frame. This is done by comparing the intensity values of the pixels.
