C++

ViBe - C++

This repository contains a C++ implementation of the ViBe background subtraction algorithm.

Getting Started

The following instructions will help you install the required libraries

Dependencies

• Boost
• OpenCV (only if you want to compile the example programs)

Compilation

The compilation process has been tested on Linux Mint 17.3 and OS X El Capitan.

To compile the program, go into the 'build' directory and enter the following commands:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

By default, the example programs are compiled. If you want to disable the compilation of these programs, you must set to 'OFF' the libvibe++_COMPILE_EXAMPLES variable in the cache of CMake. As an alternative, you can use the following commands instead of the previous ones:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -Dlibvibe++_COMPILE_EXAMPLES:BOOL=OFF ..
make

Note that on OS X, the program will not compile with clang++ (the default compiler used by CMake). You can for instance use GCC as following (considering that you installed, for example, GCC 5 with MacPorts):

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-mp-5 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

or the Intel compiler:

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpc -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

Installation

To install the libvibe++ onto your system after the compilation step, you can enter the following command (in superuser mode):

make install

or

sudo make install

The files will be installed into '/usr/local'.

Compilation of a program using the libvibe++

To compile a program using the libvibe++, you must use the '-lvibe++' linkage flag.

Execution of a program using the libvibe++

If you encounter the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libvibe++.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

check that /usr/local/lib is in your library path. If it is not, you can add it temporarily by entering the following command:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"
