Saving a Video OpenCV Python

Saving a Video

In this lesson, we will learn how to record video in OpenCV. This process is very simple for images. Only the cv2.imwrite () function is used. Recording videos is a bit more difficult. Let's create a VideoWriter object for this process. We must determine the name of the file to be saved. Then we have to specify the FourCC code.

Then the number of frames per second and frame size must be selected.

import cv2

capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

# Create VideoWriter object

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'XVID')

out = cv2.VideoWriter('recorded.avi',fourcc, 20.0, (640,480))

while(capture.isOpened()):

 ret, frame = capture.read()

 if ret==True:

  frame = cv2.flip(frame,0)

  out.write(frame)

  cv2.imshow('frame',frame)

  if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('e'):

   break

  else:

   break

capture.release()

out.release()

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

OpenCV Get Frame Width and Height in Python

Opencv Get Frame Width and Height import cv2 capture = cv2.VideoCapture( 'readvideo.mp4' ) if capture.isOpened(): w = capture.get(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH) h = capture.get(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT) w = capture.get( 3 ) h = capture.get( 4 ) f = capture.get(cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FPS)

Opencv Image Properties - rows, columns and channels, type of image data, number of pixels

Opencv Image Properties OpenCV allows access to image properties. These properties are rows, columns and channels, type of image data, number of pixels. The img.shape command is used to access the shape of the image. Returns rows, columns and channels. import cv2 img = cv2.imread( 'flower.jpg' ) print (img.shape) Result: (400, 400, 3) The data type of the image is obtained with img.dtype import cv2 img = cv2.imread( 'flower.jpg' ) print (img.dtype) Result: uint8

OpenCV Add Border to Image in Python

How to add border to image in python? To create a frame around the image, the function cv2.copyMakeBorder () is used. This function takes the following arguments: src - login image top, bottom, left, right - edge width in number of pixels in corresponding directions borderType - defines what type of border to add. There may be the following types cv2.BORDER_CONSTANT cv2.BORDER_REFLECT - cv2.BORDER_REFLECT_101 cv2.BORDER_REPLICATE cv2.BORDER_WRAP value - Color of border if border type is cv2.BORDER_CONSTANT import cv2 import numpy as np from matplotlib import pyplot as plt BLUE = [ 255 , 0 , 0 ] img1 = cv2.imread( 'flower.jpg' ) replicate = cv2.copyMakeBorder(img1 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , cv2.BORDER_REPLICATE) reflect = cv2.copyMakeBorder(img1 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , cv2.BORDER_REFLECT) reflect101 = cv2.copyMakeBorder(img1 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , cv2.BORDER_REFLECT_101) wrap = cv2.copyMakeBorder(img1 , 10 , 10 , 10 , 10 , cv2.BORDER_WRAP) constant= cv2.copyMakeBorder(img1 ...
