motempl.c lag

edit

Hi,

I have one question. For motion detection I found sample in opencv called motempl.c. But there is one problem. When i tied to test it with video, there are some lag. About 1 sec. difference between real video, and motion detection. How to solve this prolem?

Code:

#include "opencv2/video/tracking.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc_c.h"
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

using namespace cv;

static void help(void)
{
    printf(
            "\nThis program demonstrated the use of motion templates -- basically using the gradients\n"
            "of thresholded layers of decaying frame differencing. New movements are stamped on top with floating system\n"
            "time code and motions too old are thresholded away. This is the 'motion history file'. The program reads from the camera of your choice or from\n"
            "a file. Gradients of motion history are used to detect direction of motoin etc\n"
            "Usage :\n"
            "./motempl [camera number 0-n or file name, default is camera 0]\n"
            );

            memset( buf, 0, N*sizeof(buf[0]));
        }
