Detailed Description

Class that enables to manipulate easily a video file or a sequence of images. As it inherits from the vpFrameGrabber Class, it can be used like an other frame grabber class.

This class has its own implementation to read a sequence of PGM and PPM images.

This class may benefit from optional 3rd parties:

libpng: If installed this optional 3rd party is used to read a sequence of PNG images. Installation instructions are provided here https://visp.inria.fr/3rd_png.
libjpeg: If installed this optional 3rd party is used to read a sequence of JPEG images. Installation instructions are provided here https://visp.inria.fr/3rd_jpeg.
OpenCV: If installed this optional 3rd party is used to read a sequence of images where images could be in TIFF, BMP, DIB, PBM, RASTER, JPEG2000 format. If libpng or libjpeg is not installed, OpenCV is also used to consider these image formats. OpenCV allows also to consider AVI, MPEG, MPEG4, MOV, OGV, WMV, FLV, MKV video formats. Installation instructions are provided here https://visp.inria.fr/3rd_opencv.

The following example available in tutorial-video-reader.cpp shows how this class is really easy to use. It enables to read a video file named video.mpeg.

#include <visp3/gui/vpDisplayGDI.h>
#include <visp3/gui/vpDisplayOpenCV.h>
#include <visp3/gui/vpDisplayX.h>
#include <visp3/core/vpTime.h>
#include <visp3/io/vpVideoReader.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
#if (VISP_HAVE_OPENCV_VERSION >= 0x020100)
  try {
    std::string videoname = "video.mpg";
    for (int i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
      if (std::string(argv[i]) == "--name")
        videoname = std::string(argv[i + 1]);
      else if (std::string(argv[i]) == "--help" || std::string(argv[i]) == "-h") {
        std::cout << "\nUsage: " << argv[0] << " [--name <video name> (default: " << videoname << ")] [--help] [-h]\n" << std::endl;
        return 0;
      }
    }
    vpImage<unsigned char> I;
    vpVideoReader g;
    g.setFileName(videoname);
    g.open(I);
    std::cout << "Video name     : " << videoname << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Video framerate: " << g.getFramerate() << "Hz" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Video dimension: " << I.getWidth() << " " << I.getHeight() << std::endl;
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_X11
    vpDisplayX d(I);
#elif defined(VISP_HAVE_GDI)
    vpDisplayGDI d(I);
#elif defined(VISP_HAVE_OPENCV)
    vpDisplayOpenCV d(I);
#else
    std::cout << "No image viewer is available..." << std::endl;
#endif
    vpDisplay::setTitle(I, "Video reader");
    unsigned cpt = 1;
    while (!g.end()) {
      double t = vpTime::measureTimeMs();
      g.acquire(I);
      vpDisplay::display(I);
      vpDisplay::displayText(I, 20, 20, "Click to quit", vpColor::red);
      std::stringstream ss;
      ss << "Frame: " << cpt ++;
      vpDisplay::displayText(I, 40, 20, ss.str(), vpColor::red);
      vpDisplay::flush(I);
      if (vpDisplay::getClick(I, false))
        break;
      vpTime::wait(t, 1000. / g.getFramerate());
    }
    std::cout << "End of video was reached" << std::endl;
  } catch (const vpException &e) {
    std::cout << e.getMessage() << std::endl;
  }
#else
  (void)argc;
  (void)argv;
  std::cout << "Install OpenCV and rebuild ViSP to use this example." << std::endl;
#endif
}

As shown in the next example, this class allows also to access to a specific frame. But be careful, for video files, the getFrame() method is not precise and returns the nearest intra key frame from the expected frame. You can use the getFrame() method to position the reader in the video and then use the acquire() method to get the following frames one by one.

#include <visp3/io/vpVideoReader.h>
int main()
{
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_OPENCV
  vpImage<vpRGBa> I;
  vpVideoReader reader;
  // Initialize the reader.
  reader.setFileName("video.mpeg");
  reader.open(I);
  // Read the nearest key frame from the 3th frame
  reader.getFrame(I, 2);
  // After positionning the video reader use acquire to read the video frame by frame
  reader.acquire(I);
  return 0;
#endif
}

The other following example explains how to use the class to read a sequence of images. The images are stored in the folder "./image" and are named "image0000.jpeg", "image0001.jpeg", "image0002.jpeg", ... As explained in setFirstFrameIndex() and setLastFrameIndex() it is also possible to set the first and last image numbers to read a portion of the sequence. If these two functions are not used, first and last image numbers are set automatically to match the first and image images of the sequence.

#include <visp3/io/vpVideoReader.h>
int main()
{
  vpImage<vpRGBa> I;
  vpVideoReader reader;
  // Initialize the reader.
  reader.setFileName("./image/image%04d.jpeg");
  reader.setFirstFrameIndex(10);
  reader.setLastFrameIndex(20);
  reader.open(I);
  while (! reader.end() )
    reader.acquire(I);
  return 0;
}

Note that it is also possible to access to a specific frame using getFrame().

#include <visp3/io/vpVideoReader.h>
int main()
{
  vpImage<vpRGBa> I;
  vpVideoReader reader;
  // Initialize the reader.
  reader.setFileName("./image/image%04d.jpeg");
  reader.open(I);
  // Read the 3th frame
  reader.getFrame(I,2);
  return 0;
}
