Load a Video in OpenCV


#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>
#include<opencv2\opencv.hpp>
#include <opencv2\highgui\highgui.hpp>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
IplImage *frame;
int key = 'a';
/* supply the AVI file to play */
if(argc<2){
printf("Usage: main <video-file-name>.avi\n\7");
exit(0);
}

/* load the AVI file */
CvCapture *capture = cvCaptureFromAVI( argv[1] );
/* always check */
if( !capture ) return 1;

/* get fps, needed to set the delay */
int fps = ( int )cvGetCaptureProperty( capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FPS );
/* display video */
cvNamedWindow( "video", 0 );
while( key != 'q' ) {

/* get a frame */
frame = cvQueryFrame( capture );
/* always check */

if( !frame ) break;
/* display frame */
cvShowImage( "video", frame );
/* quit if user press 'q' */
cvWaitKey( 1000 / fps );
}

/* free memory */
cvReleaseCapture( &capture );
cvDestroyWindow( "video" );
return 0;
}

To Run Main write the filename.extension in the arguments. make sure that the AVI file is in RAW VIDEO form. see this link for conversion using FFMPEG the same process works for OPEN


Update:

using command line tool mencoder
mencoder.exe testReal.avi -ovc raw -vf format=i420 -o out.avi -nosound

Computing Entropy of an image (CORRECTED)

entropy is a measure of the uncertainty associated with a random variable. basically i want to get a single value representing the entropy of an image. 1. Assign 255 bins for the range of values between 0-255 2. separate the image into its 3 channels 3. compute histogram for each channel 4. normalize all 3 channels unifirmely 5. for each channel get the bin value (Hc) and use its absolute value (negative log is infinity) 6. compute Hc*log10(Hc) 7. add to entropy and continue with 5 until a single value converges 5. get the frequency of each channel - add all the values of the bin 6. for each bin get a probability - if bin 1 = 20 bin 2 = 30 then frequency is 50 and probability is 20/50 and 30/50 then compute using shannon formula  REFERENCE: http://people.revoledu.com/kardi/tutorial/DecisionTree/how-to-measure-impurity.htm class atsHistogram { public:     cv::Mat DrawHistogram(Mat src)     {         /// Separate the image in 3 places ( R, G and B )

Artificial Intelligence (K Nearest Neighbor) in OPENCV

In pattern recognition , the k -nearest neighbor algorithm ( k -NN) is a method for classifying objects based on closest training examples in the feature space . k -NN is a type of instance-based learning , or lazy learning where the function is only approximated locally and all computation is deferred until classification. The k -nearest neighbor algorithm is amongst the simplest of all machine learning algorithms: an object is classified by a majority vote of its neighbors, with the object being assigned to the class most common amongst its k nearest neighbors ( k is a positive integer , typically small). If k = 1, then the object is simply assigned to the class of its nearest neighbor. The k -NN algorithm can also be adapted for use in estimating continuous variables. One such implementation uses an inverse distance weighted average of the k -nearest multivariate neighbors. This algorithm functions as follows: Compute Euclidean or Mahalanobis distance from target plo

Blob Detection, Connected Component (Pure Opencv)

Connected-component labeling (alternatively connected-component analysis, blob extraction, region labeling, blob discovery, or region extraction) is an algorithmic application of graph theory, where subsets of connected components are uniquely labeled based on a given heuristic. Connected-component labeling is not to be confused with segmentation. i got the initial code from this URL: http://nghiaho.com/?p=1102 However the code did not compile with my setup of OpenCV 2.2, im guessing it was an older version. so a refactored and corrected the errors to come up with this Class class atsBlobFinder     {     public:         atsBlobFinder()         {         }         ///Original Code by http://nghiaho.com/?p=1102         ///Changed and added commments. Removed Errors         ///works with VS2010 and OpenCV 2.2+         void FindBlobs(const cv::Mat &binary, vector < vector<cv::Point>  > &blobs)         {             blobs.clear();             // Fill the la
