Track motion with OpenCV (cv2 in Python)

Question

Is there an example of motion tracking with cv2?

The document to cv2 is almost not there (well there is, but...). Especially a cv2 version of the code in Stack Overflow question How do I track motion using OpenCV in Python?.

Try the lk_demo in the samples/python2 directory in the OpenCV download.

I am looking for cv2 version, since many function calls are changed and not back compatible. Poor documentation makes it harder. – aar cee Apr 13 '13 at 18:06

In the latest version the python2 folder the example of the tracking is now called lk_track.py. See [link](https://github.ugent.be/divhaere/opencv/blob/master/samples/python2/lk_track.py) – wrdeman Apr 13 '13 at 22:35
Thanks wrdeman, I had a look at the lk_track, there is a new module called video ("import video"), which is not there with opencv (version 2.4.4a) installation I have on my mac os x. – aar cee Apr 15 '13 at 06:18
