本人在写一个项目的时候遇到一个问题,如何让opencv直接从内存中读取视频,也就是说以字节流的形式读取,但是奈何opencv不允许,也没有提供相关封装。
我在查阅多方资料找到,通过ffmpeg作为中间件,将字节流解码。

sp.run(shlex.split('ffmpeg -y -f lavfi -i testsrc=size={}x{}:rate=1 -vcodec vp9 -crf 23 -t 50 test.webm'.format(width, height)))
with open('test.webm', 'rb') as binary_file:
in_bytes = binary_file.read()
