Hi!

I am wondering... is it possible to pickle/serialize/store some how a subtractor object? I have a program which has a mode where it handles one frame and then quits... Seeing that the subtractor I'm using (mog) learn's it would seem like a waste to throw it away on exit. Could it be pickled for future use?

unfortunately, you can't. the trained model is not exposed to the api ( not even in c++ )

I've notice that there is a getbackgroundimage function on some of these subtractors which outputs the background model as an image. However I cannot seem to find a setbackgroundimage function. I guess it is not going to be possible without implementing my own custom subtractor where I have to persist its state myself . Thanks for your answer.

getbackgroundimage constructs an image from the background model in a quite expensive process.
