C# Command line motion detection

Question

5.00/5 (1 vote)

I'm very new to C#. I've looked at Aforge.net but their examples and documentation are for more than my novice understanding.

I want to detect motion from a command line application without the need of extra forms. I would like to grab whatever the default video source is and monitor it for frame change. If it detects a frame change do something like a console write line.

Is this possible and if so how difficult would it be?

Cheers

It never works. I mean, if the documentation and even the source code of AForge.NET are fairly clear, even though the functionality of the library is quite advanced; in many parts of it is extremely advanced. If understanding of the documentation and interfaces is difficult for someone, frame recognition is nearly impossible. The frame change is rather difficult problem even for the very experienced. Generally, image recognition is not for the novice, maybe unless such beginner is very, very talented.

Of course, this is possible to implement in a command line application, as you are not going to show anything graphically.

Thank you, that's what I figured. I'll just have to advance my skills and approach this another time.

Good. I suggest you pick more realistic tasks. The number of opportunities is unlimited. There are too many problems waiting for resolution...
