video-frame-extractor

video frame extraction from a clip for dataset creation.

frame-generator.py generates all the frames from a sample video that will be saved into extracted-frames directory.

Dependency and Installation of Packages :

we will need opencv and os package of python for this project. from python3.4 onwards, os is an integral part of python. We will need to install opencv for running the frame-generator.py. It is advised that you use virtual environment for any computer-vision related project to avoid conflict of package dependency.

pip3 install opencv-python

Running the code :

• create a directory with the name sample-clips .
• keep the video clips in the newly created sample-clips directory .
• make sure that frame-generator.py and sample-clips directory are kept under same directory .
• hit the following command in commandline.

python3 frame-generator.py
