## Description

This element creates and updates a fg/bg model using one of several approaches. The one called "codebook" refers to the codebook approach following the opencv O'Reilly book [1] implementation of the algorithm described in K. Kim, T. H. Chalidabhongse, D. Harwood and L. Davis [2]. BackgroundSubtractorMOG [3], or MOG for shorts, refers to a Gaussian Mixture-based Background/Foreground Segmentation Algorithm. OpenCV MOG implements the algorithm described in [4]. BackgroundSubtractorMOG2 [5], refers to another Gaussian Mixture-based Background/Foreground segmentation algorithm. OpenCV MOG2 implements the algorithm described in [6] and [7].

## Functions

## Types and Values

### struct GstSegmentation

    struct GstSegmentation;

## Property Details

### The `“learning-rate”` property

      “learning-rate”            gfloat

Speed with which a motionless foreground pixel would become background (inverse of number of frames).

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: [0,1]

Default value: 0.01

### The `“method”` property

      “method”                   GstSegmentationMethod

Segmentation method to use.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: Mixture-of-Gaussians segmentation (Zivkovic2004)

### The `“test-mode”` property

      “test-mode”                gboolean

If true, the output RGB is overwritten with the calculated foreground (white color).

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE
