Getting video data via OpenCV
I was able to get image data out of a .mpg file using the OpenCV Python wrapper. After installing the following: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg OpenCV was able to to read the .mpg file form the “CaputreFromFile” function. I then grabbed the frame with “QueryFrame” which returned an iplImage object which has […]

Communication is Key
