Cannot find BackgroundSubtractorMOG() and BackgroundSubtractorGMG() in OpenCV 3.0 with Python 2.7

edit savecancel

BackgroundSubtractorMOG() and BackgroundSubtractorGMG() have been moved to the bgsegm module of the contrib repository. As far as I know, no Python wrappers are available for such repository, so you just can't use those classes.

Please, point out what tutorial you've followed, so we can fix it/add a note about this issue

Thanks Lorena. It was very helpful. I've followed this tutorial here: https://opencv-python-tutroals.readth...

I've checked and the official Python tutorial in the OpenCV3.0 docs says nothing about this. I'll add a note if I find some spare time

well, once one builds the opencv_contrib repo, they are avaliable from python:

>>> help(cv2.bgsegm)
Help on module cv2.bgsegm in cv2:

NAME
    cv2.bgsegm

FILE
    (built-in)

FUNCTIONS
    createBackgroundSubtractorGMG(...)
        createBackgroundSubtractorGMG([, initializationFrames[, decisionThreshol
d]]) -> retval

    createBackgroundSubtractorMOG(...)
        createBackgroundSubtractorMOG([, history[, nmixtures[, backgroundRatio[,
 noiseSigma]]]]) -> retval

My bad then, though I saw this issue and thought it was unresolved https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/issu...
