A drop-in one-file python library for opencv VideoCapture to provide media control capabilities
- It's a wrapper around opencv
VideoCapture - It offers basic media controls like pausing, fast-forwarding, rewind, restart etc.
Often times when processing a video using opencv VideoCapture, there's a possibility that you may need to re-process a frame, or skip to a portion in the video you want to process instead of waiting for the frame to arrive, or worse there's also a possibility of missing out on observing a frame you are interested in, that's when omc will come in handy.
# Copy the file 'omc.py' to your project and import the library
from omc import OpenMediaController
# Minimal Usage,
# Display the default camera stream in a window
with OpencvMediaController() as omc:
for frame in omc.get_frames(): # 'omc.get_frames()' can be replaced with just 'omc'
omc.show_frame()
# Utility Functions
# - omc.put_text(message) => Show text with a background
# - omc.show_frame() => Display the current frame in a window
# - Colors => Pre-defined set of colors| Functions | Hotkey |
