When you build the project, you may receive strange error:

which opencv version is it ?

(and you MUST NOT use that outdated c-apip code, deprecated since 2010)

the implementation for those functions were removed, thus the errors

with opencv3, the c-api motion history functions were moved to opencv_contrib and ported to proper c++.

but, this means:

  • you can no more use the code above
  • you have to rebuild your opencv libs with opencv_contrib .

  • if you want to stay with 3.3, make sure to checkout exactly the same branch there, else updating BOTH repos to current 3.4 would be best.
