A buffered and threaded wrapper for the OpenCV VideoCapture object. Can speed up video decoding significantly. Supports

# CV2 Threaded Video Capture

Not much to say here, it enables you to read an entire video or a number of frames from a video in an extra thread with some nice syntax.

This project was initially part of my video synopsis project, wich is why the config dict() is required.

### Full video

from VideoReader import VideoReader import os

fileName = "out.mp4" dirName = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "generate test footage")

config = {} config["inputPath"] = os.path.join(dirName, fileName) config["videoBufferLength"] = 100

with VideoReader(config) as reader:

while not reader.videoEnded():

framenumber, frame = reader.pop() print(framenumber)

### Selection of Frames

from VideoReader import VideoReader import os

fileName = "out.mp4" dirName = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "generate test footage")

config = {} config["inputPath"] = os.path.join(dirName, fileName) config["videoBufferLength"] = 100

frameList = list(range(100, 500))

with VideoReader(config, frameList) as reader:

while not reader.videoEnded():

framenumber, frame = reader.pop() print(framenumber)
