How to read a video stream (online-camera or offline-file)?
|
||||
===========================================================
|
||||
|

Essentially, all the functionalities required for video manipulation is integrated in the :huivideo:`VideoCapture <videocapture>` C++ class. This on itself builds on the FFmpeg open source library. This is a basic dependency of OpenCV so you shouldn't need to worry about this. A video is composed of a succession of images, we refer to these in the literature as frames. In case of a video file there is a *frame rate* specifying just how long is between two frames. While for the video cameras usually there is a limit of just how many frames they can digitalize per second, this property is less important as at any time the camera sees the current snapshot of the world.

The first task you need to do is to assign to a :huivideo:`VideoCapture <videocapture>` class its source. You can do this either via the :huivideo:`constructor <videocapture-videocapture>` or its :huivideo:`open <videocapture-open>` function. If this argument is an integer then you will bind the class to a camera, a device. The number passed here is the ID of the device, assigned by the operating system. If you have a single camera attached to your system its ID will probably be zero and further ones increasing from there. If the parameter passed to these is a string it will refer to a video file, and the string points to the location and name of the file. For example, to the upper source code a valid command line is:

Closing the video is automatic when the objects destructor is called. However, if you want to close it before this you need to call its :huivideo:`release <videocapture-release>` function. The frames of the video are just simple images. Therefore, we just need to extract them from the :huivideo:`VideoCapture <videocapture>` object and put them inside a *Mat* one. The video streams are sequential. You may get the frames one after another by the :huivideo:`read <videocapture-read>` or the overloaded >> operator:

A read method is made of a frame grab and a decoding applied on that. You may call explicitly these two by using the :huivideo:`grab <videocapture-grab>` and then the :huivideo:`retrieve <videocapture-retrieve>` functions.

Videos have many-many information attached to them besides the content of the frames. These are usually numbers, however in some case it may be short character sequences (4 bytes or less). Due to this to acquire these information there is a general function named :huivideo:`get <videocapture-get>` that returns double values containing these properties. Use bitwise operations to decode the characters from a double type and conversions where valid values are only integers. Its single argument is the ID of the queried property. For example, here we get the size of the frames in the reference and test case video file; plus the number of frames inside the reference.

When you are working with videos you may often want to control these values yourself. To do this there is a :huivideo:`set <videocapture-set>` function. Its first argument remains the name of the property you want to change and there is a second of double type containing the value to be set. It will return true if it succeeds and false otherwise. Good examples for this is seeking in a video file to a given time or frame:
