An Intelligent Motion Detection Using OpenCV

Abstract

A computer vision system's basic goal is to detect moving things. For many applications, the performance of these systems is insufficient. One of the key reasons is that dealing with numerous restrictions such as environmental fluctuations makes the moving object detection process harder. Motion detection is a well-known computer technology associated with computer vision and image processing that focuses on detecting objects or instances of a specific class in digital photos and videos (for example, humans, flowers, and animals). Face detection, character recognition, and vehicle calculation are just a few of the well-studied applications of object motion detection. Object detection has a wide range of applications, including retrieval and surveillance. Object counting is a step after object detection that gets more exact and robust with the help of OpenCV. For object detection and counting, OpenCV includes a number of useful techniques. Object counting has a variety of applications in the fields of transportation, medicine, and environmental science, among others. Computer vision and image processing research is progressing rapidly and is being used to improve human lives. To avoid the drawbacks of current and newly established techniques, the suggested algorithm was tested on many open source images by imposing a single set of variables. The motion detection software system proposed in this paper allows us to see movement around an item or a visual area.
