CV2 Threaded Video Capture

Not much to say here, it enables you to read an entire video or a number of frames from a video in an extra thread with some nice syntax.

This project was initially part of my video synopsis project, wich is why the config dict() is required.

Full video

from VideoReader import VideoReader
import os

fileName = "out.mp4"
dirName = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "generate test footage")

config = {}
config["inputPath"] = os.path.join(dirName, fileName)
config["videoBufferLength"] = 100

with VideoReader(config) as reader:
    while not reader.videoEnded():
        framenumber, frame = reader.pop()
        print(framenumber)

Selection of Frames

from VideoReader import VideoReader
import os

fileName = "out.mp4"
dirName = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "generate test footage")

config = {}
config["inputPath"] = os.path.join(dirName, fileName)
config["videoBufferLength"] = 100

frameList = list(range(100, 500))

with VideoReader(config, frameList) as reader:
    while not reader.videoEnded():
        framenumber, frame = reader.pop()
        print(framenumber)
