Movecapture:Movement Detection and Recording System

Jul 13, 2010 by Shivendu Madhava

Movecapture is a movement detection and recording system. You need a webcam to use Movecapture, since it is basically a video capture application with a twist.

Movecapture is built for one job, and does it well. With the Webcam plugged in, Movecapture first captures a base image and then continuously compares present image with the base image— at the rate of once per second. If any changes are detected then the images are saved at the rate of 10 per second. The threshold of what is to be considered a change can be altered. By using this simple logic Movecapture poses as an effective movement capture application. Of course, it may not be suitable for professional uses, but it’s effective.

To use it, just plug in webcam and run the program
