B4J Question error declaring a variable

[michaelleewebb]

using joopencv:
maybe someone can explain the error message. i am using the "build stand alone package" menu option. it begins to compile, then it stops with the following error message:

Compiling generated Java code. Error
B4J line: 146
Dim BackSub As OCVBackgroundSubtractorMOG2
src\b4j\example\main.java:890: error: constructor BackgroundSubtractorMOG2 in class BackgroundSubtractorMOG2 cannot be applied to given types;
_backsub = new com.b4jcv.video.BackgroundSubtractorMOG2();
^
required: long
found: no arguments
reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length
1 error

this is whats on line 146:
Dim BackSub As OCVBackgroundSubtractorMOG2
guess i'm not declaring the variable properly. can anyone explain the error message ?
i tried this:
Dim BackSub(1) As OCVBackgroundSubtractorMOG2
i was thinking maybe it needs an array. nope.

also adding java code that i'm trying to convert to b4j, maybe you java people can see my error:

Does it work when you run the app (F5)?

 

[michaelleewebb]

no. same error message

 

[michaelleewebb]

was doing this:
Dim BackSub As OCVBackgroundSubtractorMOG2

reading the java code i came up with this:
Dim mVideo As OCVVideo
Dim BackSub As OCVBackgroundSubtractorMOG2 = mVideo.createBackgroundSubtractorMOG2(10,25,False)

that doesn't make it do what i want yet but it does get me past the error message. interesting stuff i'm working on. motion detection. but there is a "background" and a "foreground". background is static objects that don't change often in the image. foreground is new objects just detected. imagine two imageviews, one showing "background" of a empty road, the other showing a blank screen of the "forground". a car drives down the road, the foreground imageview shows the car driving down the road with a black background. the "background" imageview still just shows the empty road.
here's a link that explains it better:
https://docs.opencv.org/master/d1/dc5/tutorial_background_subtraction.html

thanks for looking erel.

I see no definition of OCVBackgroundSubtractorMOG2 in your code. What is it?

 

[michaelleewebb]

comes from lib jopencv. i'm still reading about how it it exactly works

Just seen this thread.
Perhaps there is a mistake in the jOpenCV library with this class, not all of them have been tested.
Will check it later this evening
