Hi, ı want to compare two images and if there is any difference ı want to get 1 or 0 in C++ language like this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNzC4...

difference = cv2.subtract(img1,img2);

in C++ above code does not give any integer value, what should ı write instead of this code?

If you are using c++, cv::subtract give you a Mat with tons of pixels value but not a single value which tell you how many non zero pixels in the matrix. You can call countNonZero in c++ to count the number of non zero pixels.

auto const diff= img1 != img2;
if(countNonZero(dst) == 0){
    cout<<"this is same picture"<<endl;
}else{
    cout<<"this is not the same picture"<<endl;
}

You can use stl algorithm and iterator to do the comparison too. I do not know which one is faster, you better run some test on it.

bool const equal = std::equal(img1.begin<uchar>(), img1.end<uchar>(), img2.begin<uchar>());

If you want to compare similarity of images with different size, try out img_hash module of opencv_contrib.

Edit : I replace subtraction by comparison, it is easier to read and avoid the problem of value clip.

Please post your error messages, are you sure you load the image successful? Are both of the images have the same size,channels and types?

using namespace cv; using namespace std;

int main(){

    Mat img1,img2,dst;
VideoCapture capture(0); // kamera aç
namedWindow("Camera",1);
Sleep(500);

while(1){

    if(!capture.isOpened())
        return -1;

    capture.read(img1); 
    capture.read(img2); 

    absdiff(img1,img2,dst);

    if(countNonZero(dst) == 0){
          cout<<"there is no motion"<<endl;
    }

   else{
          cout<<"there is a motion"<<endl;
    }

    imshow("Camera",img1);

    if (waitKey(30) == 27) 
            {
               cout << "ESC key is pressed by user" << endl;
               break;
            }
      }
  return 0;

}

my purpose is to perceive when any motion occour in camera
