OpenCV2.2 和 2.4.4 的 cvSetCaptureProperty 和 CvGaussBGModel （高斯背景建模）版本间差异

         OpenCV2.2的cvSet和cvGet获取帧是按照关键帧的方法来的，并不准确，较高版本的OpenCV修改了这个bug，改成用帧号的方式获取，经过测试，2.4.2，2.4.4版本都可以比较准确的获得到想要的帧。

         解决了这个问题之后又出现了新的问题，我们在做和视频前背景分离有关的项目，程序里本来用到的OpenCV2.2中的CvGaussBGModel在高版本已经废弃不用了，虽然网上提到混合高斯模型提取背景铺天盖地的都是CvGaussBGModel，转而使用的是cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG和cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2方法，MOG是Mixture of Gaussian的缩写，所以两者实际在做一个事情，据说cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2是将混合高斯模型的应用发挥到极致的一个实现，下面我们就来看看两者间的差异。

          在openCV2.2中，CvGaussBGModel是在\opencv2\video\background_segm.hpp中定义的，到2.4时，CvGaussBGModel已经不再使用，并移到了legacy中，也就是虽然使用原来的CvGaussBGModel即使能编译通过，也无法正常运行，而2.4中的background_segm.hpp只定义了前背景分离较新的的几种方法。

          其中，BackgroundSubtractor是前背景分离的基类，BackgroundSubtractorMOG，和BackgroundSubtractorMOG2都派生自BackgroundSubtractor类，在新版本2.4.4的background_segm.hpp中这样描述这两种方法对应的文献：

          网上搜的程序，大多为GaussBGModel模型，更新cvUpdateBG时采用哪种算法更新，主要取决于cvCreateGaussianBGModel或者cvCreateFGDStatModel  建立了那种模型。这两种模型的参数均可调，GaussBGModel （混合\单高斯模型），对应实现文件cvbgfg_gaussmix.cpp，其算法基于   KaewTraKulPong and R. Bowden，An Improved Adaptive Background Mixture Model for Real-time Tracking and Shadow Detection, AVSS 2001； FGDStatModel 对应实现文件cvbgfg_acmmm2003.cpp，其算法基于   Liyuan Li, Weimin Huang, Irene Y.H. Gu, and Qi Tian, Foreground Object Detection from Videos Containing Complex Background, ACM-MM 2003。用GaussBGModel模型cvUpdateBGStatModel()函数的第三个参数为学习速率，即cvUpdateGaussianBGModel( IplImage* curr_frame, CvGaussBGModel*  bg_model, double learningRate)  ；用FGDStatModel更新模板使用cvUpdateFGDStatModel( IplImage* curr_frame, CvFGDStatModel*  model, double ) ，第三个参数没有用。

GaussBGModel 使用方法如下：

           CvGaussBGModel* bg_model = NULL;             CvGaussBGStatModelParams params;              params.win_size = 2000;            // 初始化阶段的帧数；用户自定义模型学 习率a=1/win_size;            params.bg_threshold = 0.7;         //和其中一个高斯模型匹配时的阈值              params.weight_init = 0.05;         //高斯分布的初始权值            params.variance_init = 30;  //高斯分布的初始方差            params.minArea = 15.f;  //最小面积，这个参数用来去噪，当检测的目标矩阵区域面积小于这minArea时，就把它当噪声去除            params.n_gauss = 5; //= K =Number of gaussian in mixture              params.std_threshold = 2.5;  //是否为背景的的阈值                      bg_model = (CvGaussBGModel*)cvCreateGaussianBGModel(pFrame,params);     //建立模型                              cvSmooth(pFrame,pFrame,CV_GAUSSIAN,3,0,0,0);                    cvUpdateBGStatModel(pFrame,(CvBGStatModel*)bg_model,-0.00001);   //更新背景            cvCopy(bg_model->foreground ,pFrImg,0);              cvCopy(bg_model->background ,pBkImg,0);                 cvErode(pFrImg,pFrImg,0,1);              cvDilate(pFrImg,pFrImg,0,3);                            cvShowImage("video",pFrame);              cvShowImage("foreground",pFrImg);              cvShowImage("foreground",pFrImg);             cvCopy(pFrImg,FirstImg,0);             cvReleaseBGStatModel((CvBGStatModel**)&bg_model);  

BackgroundSubtractorMOG2使用方法：

cv::VideoCapture capture;        capture.open(videoFile);        cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2  mog;        cv::Mat foreground;        cv::Mat background;        IplImage bkImage;                        cv::Mat frame;        long frameNo = 0;        while (capture.read(frame))        {           // 运动前景检测，并更新背景               mog(frame, foreground, 0.001);                      // 腐蚀               cv::erode(foreground, foreground, cv::Mat());               // 膨胀               cv::dilate(foreground, foreground, cv::Mat());               mog.getBackgroundImage(background);   // 返回当前背景图像               cv::imshow("video", foreground);               cv::imshow("background", background);}

           可以看到，新版本的代码实现中都使用了cv命名空间，而且新版本中不是使用IplImage作为输入输出，而是cv::Mat，这对于编程来说方便了不少，如果要从老版本移植则需要IplImage和Mat之间的转化，参考文献如下：

           另外，有个编程小窍门，说Visual Studio2012可以在调试时直接有个窗口可以看到运行到此时的Mat或IplImage的图片，很激动人心!
