Radinger ,

Actually it may be much easier to get a video of whatever it is you may want (e.g. AVI) as an image sequence and then us it as a stacked image.  Then use  the individual images to get the one you want or one (or several) to perform the math required.

I would be difficult to remove one image from another with much work.


Try it. If you need more advice on this technique let me know.

Subject: Re: Automatized object-identification / segmentation of fish from photos

FYI, actually, I am not taking the pictures myself, I'll rather use already
taken pictures e.g. as from fishbase.org. So I don't have the possibility
to select my aquarium background or to take to independent pictures (w and
w/o the fish)...
Anyway I'll give ilastik a try and read deeper into DNN, but I guess an
automatized way might be very difficult not to say impossible.
