python图像处理opencv笔记（二）：视频基本操作

视频基本操作

视频读取

opencv中通过VideoCaptrue类对视频进行读取操作以及调用摄像头，下面是该类的API：

import cv2

video = cv2.VideoCapture(0)		# 打开本地摄像头，如果是视频流，可将0替换为url

在C++中，CvCapture 是一个结构体，用来保存图像捕获所需要的信息。 opencv通过调用底层ffmpeg提供两种方式从外部捕获图像，打开摄像头或者解析视频流，直接再后面加0或者路径就可以了。而在python中也一样，VideoCapture()是用于从视频文件、图片序列、摄像头捕获视频的类，当我们创建好了上面的video对象后，就可以查看使用帮助和具体能调用的方法，使用help和dir：

$ help(video)
class VideoCapture(builtins.object)

 |  grab(...)
 |      grab() -> retval
 |      .   @brief Grabs the next frame from video file or capturing device.
 |      .   
 |      .       @return `true` (non-zero) in the case of success.
 |      .   
 |      .       The method/function grabs the next frame from video file or camera and returns true (non-zero) in
 |      .       the case of success.
 |      .   
 |      .       The primary use of the function is in multi-camera environments, especially when the cameras do not
 |      .       have hardware synchronization. That is, you call VideoCapture::grab() for each camera and after that
 |      .       call the slower method VideoCapture::retrieve() to decode and get frame from each camera. This way
 |      .       the overhead on demosaicing or motion jpeg decompression etc. is eliminated and the retrieved frames
 |      .       from different cameras will be closer in time.
 |      .   
 |      .       Also, when a connected camera is multi-head (for example, a stereo camera or a Kinect device), the
 |      .       correct way of retrieving data from it is to call VideoCapture::grab() first and then call
 |      .       VideoCapture::retrieve() one or more times with different values of the channel parameter.

 |  isOpened(...)
 |      isOpened() -> retval
 |      .   @brief Returns true if video capturing has been initialized already.
 |      .   
 |      .       If the previous call to VideoCapture constructor or VideoCapture::open() succeeded, the method returns
 |      .       true.
 |  
 |  open(...)
 |      open(filename[, apiPreference]) -> retval
 |      .   @brief  Opens a video file or a capturing device or an IP video stream for video capturing.
 |      .   
 |      .       @overload
 |      .   
 |      .       Parameters are same as the constructor VideoCapture(const String& filename, int apiPreference = CAP_ANY)
 |      .       @return `true` if the file has been successfully opened
 |      .   
 |      .       The method first calls VideoCapture::release to close the already opened file or camera.
 |      
 |      
 |      
 |      open(index[, apiPreference]) -> retval
 |      .   @brief  Opens a camera for video capturing
