I was trying to go through this tutorial på OpenCV.org:
http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/doc/tutorials/video/background_subtraction/background_subtraction.html#background-subtraction
The MOG pointer is initialized as
Ptr<BackgroundSubtractor> pMOG; //MOG Background subtractor
and in main, it is used in the following manner:
pMOG = createBackgroundSubtractorMOG();
However, this yields the following error:
Error: Identifier "createBackgroundSubtractorMOG" is undefined
Also, when the background model is to be updated, the following command is used:
pMOG->apply(frame, fgMaskMOG);
Which in turn yields the following error:
Error: class "cv::BackgroundSubtractor" has no member "apply"
Any idea of what can be done about this? Many thanks in advance!

Step #1 – Create an object to signify the algorithm we are using for background subtraction. Step #2 – Apply backgroundsubtractor. apply() function on image. fgmask1 = fgbg1.
Step 1: First of all, import the library OpenCV. Step 2: Now, import the image from your computer. Step 3: Then, read the image in OpenCV. Step 4: Then, convert the image background to gray image background.
You can subtract two images by OpenCV function, cv. subtract(). res = img1 - img2.
I happened to meet this problem today. This tutorial is for opencv 3.0, not for opencv 2.4+, make a few changes as follows:
