Mask file

Question

HI i have created a mask file, however, it doesn't seem to work in that motion is detected in the black areas. My mask is attached, could someone have a look at it and see if I have done something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Answer

It's all black! I can't tell if the file is correct just by looking at it, but I suggest using the command I've copies from the tutorial page to create your mask file from a jpg. This was the only way I could get a PGM mask file to work:

djpeg -grayscale -pnm [inputfile] > mask.pgm
