Last page update: **04/03/2023**

Library Version: **3.3.0** (see **[Build Status](https://github.com/andrewssobral/bgslibrary/wiki/Build-status)** and **[Release Notes](https://github.com/andrewssobral/bgslibrary/wiki/Release-notes)** for more info)

The **BGSLibrary** was developed in early 2012 by [Andrews Sobral](http://andrewssobral.wixsite.com/home) as a C++ framework (with wrappers available for Python, Java and MATLAB) for foreground-background separation in videos using [OpenCV](http://www.opencv.org/). The bgslibrary is compatible with OpenCV versions 2.4.x, 3.x and 4.x, and can be compiled on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. It currently contains **43** algorithms and is available free of charge to all users, both academic and commercial. The library's source code is available under the [MIT license](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).

* Installation instructions

You can either install BGSLibrary via [pre-built binary package](https://github.com/andrewssobral/bgslibrary/releases) or build it from source

* * [Windows installation](https://github.com/andrewssobral/bgslibrary/wiki/Installation-instructions---Windows)

* * [Ubuntu / OS X installation](https://github.com/andrewssobral/bgslibrary/wiki/Installation-instructions-Ubuntu-or-OSX)

Supported Compilers are:

GCC 4.8 and above
Clang 3.4 and above
MSVC 2015, 2017, 2019 or newer

Other compilers might work, but are not officially supported.
The bgslibrary requires some features from the ISO C++ 2014 standard.
