I was trying to go through this tutorial på OpenCV.org:
The MOG pointer is initialized as
Ptr<BackgroundSubtractor> pMOG; //MOG Background subtractor
and in main, it is used in the following manner:
pMOG = createBackgroundSubtractorMOG();
However, this yields the following error:
Error: Identifier "createBackgroundSubtractorMOG" is undefined
Also, when the background model is to be updated, the following command is used:
pMOG->apply(frame, fgMaskMOG);
Which in turn yields the following error:
Error: class "cv::BackgroundSubtractor" has no member "apply"
Any idea of what can be done about this? Many thanks in advance!

I happened to meet this problem today. This tutorial is for opencv 3.0, not for opencv 2.4+, make a few changes as follows:

Accordingly to the previous answer the background subtractor can be also defined as:
BackgroundSubtractorMOG MOG;
instead of:
Ptr<BackgroundSubtractor> pMOG;
pMOG= new BackgroundSubtractorMOG(); //MOG approach
that would also require to delete pMOG when it is not used anymore, furthermore functor can be used to update foreground mask in a bit smarter way:
MOG(newFrame, foregroundMask);
insted of:
pMOG->operator()(frame, fgMaskMOG);
The default assumption of openCV is that the background is quite constant and does not need any update, so, after the learning initial phase the Mixture of Gaussians is not changed any more. A detailed and clear description can be also be found here:
http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/33/82/06/PDF/RPCS_2008.pdf
I also had the same issue: Error: Identifier "createBackgroundSubtractorMOG" is undefined which was because I was missing link to opencv library libopencv_video.so in my algorithm.
I solved this by including libopencv_video.so during linking of the project which can be done in your Makefile like this:
-L/usr/local/lib/libopencv_video.so
It resolved the error and I am able to use the original tutorial as given here: http://docs.opencv.org/3.0-beta/doc/tutorials/video/background_subtraction/background_subtraction.html
If you want the MOG method to work, you should
#include "opencv2/bgsegm.hpp"
and then
pMOG = bgsegm::createBackgroundSubtractorMOG();
