@Nimya, can you try to read over your question again, and improve it ? it's all too broad. movement of what ? compare ?

what are you trying to achieve ? what is the purpose ?

try do do some research on your own, like looking up optical flow.

This little program runs with python 3.5 using OpenCV 3.0 and compares image frames from an AVI file, displaying the difference image in a window. The differences are just scaled to fit, but you can come up with all kinds of variations on this.

import numpy as np
import cv2

# Capture video from file
cap=cv2.VideoCapture('/data/Code/Python/AAT/sim_imagery.avi')

old_frame = None

while True:

    ret, frame = cap.read()

    if ret == True:

        gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

        if old_frame is not None:
            diff_frame = gray - old_frame
            diff_frame -= diff_frame.min()
            disp_frame = np.uint8(255.0*diff_frame/float(diff_frame.max()))
            cv2.imshow('diff_frame',disp_frame)
        old_frame = gray

        if cv2.waitKey(30) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
            break

    else:
        print('ERROR!')
        break

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Code:

 import numpy as np
    import cv2

    cap = cv2.VideoCapture('/Users/nimya/Desktop/people-walking2.mp4')

    ret, current_frame = cap.read()

    fgbg = cv2.createBackgroundSubtractorMOG2()

    previous_frame = current_frame

    def framediff(current_frame_gray,previous_frame_gray):

        frame_diff = cv2.absdiff(current_frame_gray,previous_frame_gray)

        cv2.imshow('frame diff ',frame_diff)

        return frame_diff


    while(cap.isOpened()):

        current_frame_gray = cv2.cvtColor(current_frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

        previous_frame_gray = cv2.cvtColor(previous_frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

        frame_diff=framediff(current_frame_gray,previous_frame_gray)

    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):

            break

        previous_frame = current_frame.copy()

        ret, current_frame = cap.read()


    cap.release()

    cv2.destroyAllWindows()
