I read that I can use motion vectors to detect new objects in a scene as a form of motion detection.
FFMPEG doesn't have motion detection implementation but I can use "mestimate" which uses motion vectors to detect objects that are moving in a video.
Here is FFMPEG "mestimate" filter:
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#mestimate
I do not see any examples on FFMPEG doc for utilizing "mestimate".
Can someone shed some command examples on utilizing "mestimate"?
I have a USB security camera and it is always recording the same scene and when it detects an object or a person, I would like FFMPEG to take a snapshot.
I am using the command below currently and it is either a hit or miss on detecting new objects:
-vf "select='gt(scene,0.04)'" snapshot.jpg
Thanks for any help.
