Missing some large objects but triggering when nothing is there... Message-ID: <canlg5si+unzc-i9koawtvhzbd08zydahte6s5birnwjqfd3...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Have set up motion on a Pi 2 with a logitech web cam. It works well except it generates a lot of false triggers and misses a few large objects. Set it to show change number on frame captured and adjusted threshold. I set the motion frames to 3 to try to reduce the false triggers and also use a mask to eliminate areas outside the area of interest. Still have issues. Is there a way to see several frames around the event and the amount of motion it measures? It would be very helpful if there was a guide or cliff notes to tuning - some way to get a view of what was actually happening rather than just guessing and trying adjustment of various settings. Maybe there is such a guide and I missed it. I think some of the false detection is wind or light changes but it missed a FedEx van recently. I checked the loading on the processor and it seems reasonable. Pops up to about 20% for a few samples when motion is detected but I was just using 'top' and there may be a better way. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ Motion-user mailing list Motion-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user ------------------------------ End of Motion-user Digest, Vol 142, Issue 1 *******************************************
