Realtime webcam motion detection using OpenCV and Python
This project implements a real-time motion detection system using a webcam and classical computer vision techniques.
The program continuously captures frames from a webcam, compares consecutive frames to detect motion, and displays live video output. This project focuses on understanding core computer vision concepts such as frame differencing, noise reduction, and real-time video processing.
