* The sequence of images used in this example is part of the `Background Models Challenge (BMC) <http://bmc.univ-bpclermont.fr/>`_ dataset and it can be downloaded from the following link `sequence 111 <http://bmc.univ-bpclermont.fr/sites/default/files/videos/learning/111_png.zip>`_ (about 708 MB). Please, note that this example works only on sequences in which the filename format is <n>.png, where n is the frame number (e.g., 7.png).
Evaluation
==========
==========
To quantitatively evaluate the results obtained, we need to:
* Save the output images;
@ -377,7 +377,7 @@ In order to save the output images, we can use :imwrite:`imwrite <>`. Adding the
if(!saved) {
cerr << "Unable to save " << imageToSave << endl;
}
Once we have collected the result images, we can compare them with the ground truth data. There exist several publicly available sequences for background subtraction that come with ground truth data. If you decide to use the `Background Models Challenge (BMC) <http://bmc.univ-bpclermont.fr/>`_, then the result images can be used as input for the `BMC Wizard <http://bmc.univ-bpclermont.fr/?q=node/7>`_. The wizard can compute different measures about the accuracy of the results.
