I went through the codes given in the opencv tutorial. But they are all applied to videos. I tried applying the same to a still image. But everything is being removed. Hence I need your solution. Kindly help.

Thank you

the whole concept of background subtraction needs more than one image

for a single image, it is called 'segmentation'. look at grabcut and watershed

How should the algorithm decide which part is foreground and what is background? If you have a scene with a car and a person in front of a house, is the car part of the foreground? Or are you just interested in the person? Or do you want to remove the house as you are only interested in the clouds?
