Looking at the original paper (http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/vsam/P...), and at this page http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/db/d5c/t..., the question is:

There is already an implementation of the Stauffer & Grimson algorithm in opencv ?

I don't understand your link to python do. Was it this link?

No that exact algorithm, I don't think. Very similar though.

The algorithms in OpenCV are much more modern, and likely more accurate and faster. They should function just fine for whatever you were using the Stauffer & Grimson algorithm for.

Hello Tetragram, could you suggest me a more detailed link / documentation for background subreaction algorithms used in opencv ? I always only read about BackgroundSubstractorMOG, BackgroundSubtractorMOG2 and BackgroundSubtractorGMG.

I might be completely wrong here, but as far as I scrolled through the mentioned paper, I do not see it do anything else than building an adaptive gaussian mixture model and updating it accordingly. This is exactly what the BackgroundSubtractorGMG does...

The papers for the algorithms used in OpenCV are

MOG: Pakorn KaewTraKulPong and Richard Bowden. An improved adaptive background mixture model for real-time tracking with shadow detection. In Video-Based Surveillance Systems, pages 135โ€“144. Springer, 2002.

MOG2: Pakorn KaewTraKulPong and Richard Bowden. An improved adaptive background mixture model for real-time tracking with shadow detection. In Video-Based Surveillance Systems, pages 135โ€“144. Springer, 2002.
