VideoCapture
|
|
------------
|
|
.. ocv:class:: VideoCapture
|
|
|
|
Class for video capturing from video files, image sequences or cameras.
|
|
The class provides C++ API for capturing video from cameras or for reading video files and image sequences. Here is how the class can be used: ::
|
|
|
|
#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp"
|
|
|
|
using namespace cv;
|
|
|
|
int main(int, char**)
|
|
{
|
|
VideoCapture cap(0); // open the default camera
|
|
if(!cap.isOpened()) // check if we succeeded
|
|
return -1;
|
|
|
|
Mat edges;
|
|
namedWindow("edges",1);
|
|
for(;;)
|
|
{
|
|
Mat frame;
|
|
cap >> frame; // get a new frame from camera
|
|
cvtColor(frame, edges, COLOR_BGR2GRAY);
|
|
GaussianBlur(edges, edges, Size(7,7), 1.5, 1.5);
|
|
Canny(edges, edges, 0, 30, 3);
|
|
imshow("edges", edges);
|
|
if(waitKey(30) >= 0) break;
|
|
}
|
|
// the camera will be deinitialized automatically in VideoCapture destructor
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note:: In C API the black-box structure ``CvCapture`` is used instead of ``VideoCapture``.
|

VideoCapture::VideoCapture
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
VideoCapture constructors.
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: VideoCapture::VideoCapture()
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: VideoCapture::VideoCapture(const String& filename)
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: VideoCapture::VideoCapture(int device)
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture() -> <VideoCapture object>
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture(filename) -> <VideoCapture object>
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture(device) -> <VideoCapture object>
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:cfunction:: CvCapture* cvCaptureFromCAM( int device )
|
|
.. ocv:cfunction:: CvCapture* cvCaptureFromFile( const char* filename )
|
|
|
|
:param filename: name of the opened video file (eg. video.avi) or image sequence (eg. img_%02d.jpg, which will read samples like img_00.jpg, img_01.jpg, img_02.jpg, ...)
|
|
|
|
:param device: id of the opened video capturing device (i.e. a camera index). If there is a single camera connected, just pass 0.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: In C API, when you finished working with video, release ``CvCapture`` structure with ``cvReleaseCapture()``, or use ``Ptr<CvCapture>`` that calls ``cvReleaseCapture()`` automatically in the destructor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VideoCapture::open
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Open video file or a capturing device for video capturing
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: bool VideoCapture::open(const String& filename)
|
|
.. ocv:function:: bool VideoCapture::open(int device)
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture.open(filename) -> retval
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture.open(device) -> retval
|
|
|
|
:param filename: name of the opened video file (eg. video.avi) or image sequence (eg. img_%02d.jpg, which will read samples like img_00.jpg, img_01.jpg, img_02.jpg, ...)
|
|
|
|
:param device: id of the opened video capturing device (i.e. a camera index).
|
|
|
|
The methods first call :ocv:func:`VideoCapture::release` to close the already opened file or camera.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VideoCapture::isOpened
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Returns true if video capturing has been initialized already.
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: bool VideoCapture::isOpened()
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture.isOpened() -> retval
|
|
|
|
If the previous call to ``VideoCapture`` constructor or ``VideoCapture::open`` succeeded, the method returns true.
|
|
|
|
VideoCapture::release
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Closes video file or capturing device.
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: void VideoCapture::release()
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture.release() -> None
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:cfunction:: void cvReleaseCapture(CvCapture** capture)
|
|
|
|
The methods are automatically called by subsequent :ocv:func:`VideoCapture::open` and by ``VideoCapture`` destructor.
|
|
|
|
The C function also deallocates memory and clears ``*capture`` pointer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VideoCapture::grab
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Grabs the next frame from video file or capturing device.
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: bool VideoCapture::grab()
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture.grab() -> retval
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:cfunction:: int cvGrabFrame(CvCapture* capture)
|
|
|
|
The methods/functions grab the next frame from video file or camera and return true (non-zero) in the case of success.
|
|
|
|
The primary use of the function is in multi-camera environments, especially when the cameras do not have hardware synchronization. That is, you call ``VideoCapture::grab()`` for each camera and after that call the slower method ``VideoCapture::retrieve()`` to decode and get frame from each camera. This way the overhead on demosaicing or motion jpeg decompression etc. is eliminated and the retrieved frames from different cameras will be closer in time.
|
|
|
|
Also, when a connected camera is multi-head (for example, a stereo camera or a Kinect device), the correct way of retrieving data from it is to call `VideoCapture::grab` first and then call :ocv:func:`VideoCapture::retrieve` one or more times with different values of the ``channel`` parameter. See https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/tree/master/samples/cpp/openni_capture.cpp
|
|
|
|
|
|
VideoCapture::retrieve
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Decodes and returns the grabbed video frame.
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: bool VideoCapture::retrieve( OutputArray image, int flag=0 )
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture.retrieve([image[, flag]]) -> retval, image
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:cfunction:: IplImage* cvRetrieveFrame( CvCapture* capture, int streamIdx=0 )
|
|
|
|
The methods/functions decode and return the just grabbed frame. If no frames has been grabbed (camera has been disconnected, or there are no more frames in video file), the methods return false and the functions return NULL pointer.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: OpenCV 1.x functions ``cvRetrieveFrame`` and ``cv.RetrieveFrame`` return image stored inside the video capturing structure. It is not allowed to modify or release the image! You can copy the frame using :ocv:cfunc:`cvCloneImage` and then do whatever you want with the copy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VideoCapture::read
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Grabs, decodes and returns the next video frame.
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: VideoCapture& VideoCapture::operator >> (Mat& image)
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: VideoCapture& VideoCapture::operator >> (UMat& image)
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: bool VideoCapture::read(OutputArray image)
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture.read([image]) -> retval, image
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:cfunction:: IplImage* cvQueryFrame(CvCapture* capture)
|
|
|
|
The methods/functions combine :ocv:func:`VideoCapture::grab` and :ocv:func:`VideoCapture::retrieve` in one call. This is the most convenient method for reading video files or capturing data from decode and return the just grabbed frame. If no frames has been grabbed (camera has been disconnected, or there are no more frames in video file), the methods return false and the functions return NULL pointer.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: OpenCV 1.x functions ``cvRetrieveFrame`` and ``cv.RetrieveFrame`` return image stored inside the video capturing structure. It is not allowed to modify or release the image! You can copy the frame using :ocv:cfunc:`cvCloneImage` and then do whatever you want with the copy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VideoCapture::get
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Returns the specified ``VideoCapture`` property
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:function:: double VideoCapture::get(int propId)
|
|
|
|
.. ocv:pyfunction:: cv2.VideoCapture.get(propId) -> retval
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
:param fourcc: 4-character code of codec used to compress the frames. For example, ``VideoWriter::fourcc('P','I','M','1')`` is a MPEG-1 codec, ``VideoWriter::fourcc('M','J','P','G')`` is a motion-jpeg codec etc. List of codes can be obtained at `Video Codecs by FOURCC <http://www.fourcc.org/codecs.php>`_ page.

VideoWriter::fourcc
|
|
-------------------
|
|
Concatenates 4 chars to a fourcc code

This static method constructs the fourcc code of the codec to be used in the constructor :ocv:func:`VideoWriter::VideoWriter` or :ocv:func:`VideoWriter::open`.
|
