Latest Library Version: **1.9.2** (see Release Notes for more info)
The BGSLibrary was developed by [Andrews Sobral](https://sites.google.com/site/andrewssobral) and provides a C++ framework to perform background subtraction (BGS). The code works either on Windows or on Linux. Currently the library offers **35** BGS algorithms (*the [PBAS](https://sites.google.com/site/pbassegmenter/home) algorithm was removed from BGSLibrary because it is based on patented algorithm [ViBE](http://www2.ulg.ac.be/telecom/research/vibe/)*). A large amount of algorithms were provided by several authors. The source code is available under GNU GPL v3 license, the library is free and open source for academic purposes¹. Any user can be download latest project source code using SVN client. In Windows, a demo project for Visual Studio 2010 is provided. An executable version of BGSLibrary is available for Windows 32 bits and 64 bits. For Linux and Mac users, a Makefile can be used to compile all files and generate an executable example.
