H264 Decoder Python Module

The aim of this project is to provide a simple decoder for video captured by a Raspberry Pi camera. At the time of this writing I only need H264 decoding, since a H264 stream is what the RPi software delivers. Furthermore flexibility to incorporate the decoder in larger python programs in various ways is desirable.

The code might also serve as example for libav and pybind11 usage.

Files

• h264decoder.hpp, h264decoder.cpp and h264decoder_python.cpp contain the module code.

• Other source files are tests and demos.

Requirements

• cmake for building
• libav

Credits

• Michael Welter
• Martin Valgur

Todo

• Add a video clip for testing and remove hard coded file names in demos/tests.
