Thread: Motion detection simple application

I think it will not be as hard , but i do not want to write something that will not work with the output i will be able to get from converting a video to a series of images.

Thanks for the help.
But what i meant to say is that the problem is not in the comparison part , it is in the Video to Image[] part.
But i will try to continue the other parts of it.

The application has worked on a series of stored jpg images as BufferedImage [].
Thanks for the support.

But i kind of have some tricky questions.
What runs first?
In a java what i know is that the first thing runs in a class is it constructor.
Now in the Main class which contains the public static void main (String Args[]) method.
Does the main method run first or the constructor of this method's class, Cause i was told that the first thing to be run in a java project is the public static void main() code, so i want to be sure about that.

Also in one project i can have more than one public static void main() method in the same main library/package but on different classes , The question is how do i know which one is supposed to run , and how do i change that manually if i want to?


Knowing that i am using Netbeans.

Thank you.

Oh , ok

You should know which class you want to execute.

I have no idea how to configure an IDE to execute a class.

ok
