• trying to make OpenCV 3.2.0 work with virtualenv

  24 juillet 2017, par lollercoaster

  I’m on Ubuntu 16.04 with Python 2.7 and virtualenv & virtualenvwrapper.

  By following this guide I managed to get the following script working with my system Python2.7 which has cv2 globally installed.

  I used this script to install it :

  sudo apt-get install -y unzip wget
  
  
  
  # opencv contrib
  
  wget https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/archive/3.2.0.zip -O opencv_contrib-3.2.0.zip
  
  unzip opencv_contrib-3.2.0.zip
  
  rm opencv_contrib-3.2.0.zip
  
  
  
  # opencv
  
  wget https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/3.2.0.zip
  
  unzip 3.2.0.zip
  
  rm 3.2.0.zip
  
  mv opencv-3.2.0 OpenCV-3.2.0
  
  cd OpenCV-3.2.0
  
  
  
  mkdir build
  
  cd build
  
  cmake -D WITH_QT=ON \
  
      -D WITH_OPENGL=ON \
  
      -D FORCE_VTK=ON \
  
      -D WITH_TBB=ON \
  
      -D WITH_GDAL=ON \
  
      -D WITH_XINE=ON \
  
      -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON \
  
      -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
  
      -D ENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF \
  
      -D BUILD_NEW_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON \
  
      ..
  
  
  
  make -j4
  
  sudo make install
  
  sudo ldconfig
  
  
  
  
  
  # 4. EXECUTE SOME OPENCV EXAMPLES AND COMPILE A DEMONSTRATION
  
  
  
  # To complete this step, please visit 'http://milq.github.io/install-opencv-ubuntu-debian'.

  The following script below works great with that system-wide installation :

  import cv2
  
  
  
  img = cv2.imread('some_img.jpg')

  Though this one doesn’t - even the system Python can’t read videos for some reason...

  import cv2
  
  
  
  video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
  
  ret, frame = video_capture.read()
  
  print ret  # always False

  but I want it to work with my virtualenv. So I recompiled OpenCV with :

  cmake -D WITH_QT=ON \
  
      -D WITH_OPENGL=ON \
  
      -D FORCE_VTK=ON \
  
      -D WITH_TBB=ON \
  
      -D WITH_GDAL=ON \
  
      -D WITH_XINE=ON \
  
      -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON \
  
      -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
  
      -D ENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF \
  
      -D BUILD_NEW_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON \
  
      -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=/home/me/code/myproject/opencv_contrib-3.2.0/modules \
  
      -D PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=~/.envs/myenv/bin/python \
  
      ..
  
  
  
  make -j4
  
  sudo make install
  
  sudo ldconfig

  Unfortunately, while this works and I can import cv2 in the shell, it cannot read video using the above script, probably due to incorrect compilation or linking of ffmpeg ? The confusing part is the system-wide installation of OpenCV works fine, even without ffmpeg installed !

  What am I doing wrong ? How can I get OpenCV working with a virtualenv ?

  ====

  EDIT : Running the C++ video writing example has this result :

  $ cd /home/me/code/myproject/OpenCV-3.2.0/build/bin
  
  $ ./cpp-tutorial-video-write ../../samples/data/vtest.avi R Y
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  This program shows how to write video files.
  
  You can extract the R or G or B color channel of the input video.
  
  Usage:
  
  ./video-write  [ R | G | B] [Y | N]
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Révision 23678 : Bugfix dans recup_date() quand on lui passe une chaîne du type 2017-07

  20 juillet 2017, par brunobergot@gmail.com

  Sous PHP 5.5.38-1 le test `substr($jour, 0, 1) == ’0’` renvoie true quand `$jour = ’’` ce qui fait renvoyer un valeur false pour le jour au lieu d’une chaîne vide.
  r23409 ayant modifié affdate_base(), ce cas ne passait plus par `strtotime($numdate)` mais par `mktime($heures, $minutes, $secondes, $mois, $jour, $annee)` qui génère un timestamp décalé d’un jour en arrière.
  On obtenait donc 06 au lieu de 07 pour `[(#VAL2017-07|affdatem)]`

  pfiou :p

• FFMPEG RGB Lossless conversion video

  29 août 2017, par DCDCDC

  I have been experiencing difficulty in finding many answers with FFMPEG documentation, forums and here.
  What I am trying to do is a compress a screen capture video but with just RGB data.
  The steps I am currently taking are ;

  ffmpeg -f avfoundation -pix_fmt 0rgb -r "30" -i "1" -vcodec libx264rgb -pix_fmt rgb24 -crf 0 -t 25 -q 0 -y ~/Desktop/RGB.mkv

  This captures the screen on my mac. To the best of my knowledge, this creates a lossless file and I have compared screen shots that confirm this.
  The next step is where I think I have an issue.
  Because I want to run the compression on raw RGB data I need to convert the MKV to an RGB file ;

  ffmpeg -i ~/Desktop/RGB.mkv -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb24 -crf 0 -ss 00:00:03 -to 00:02:01 -q 0 -y ~/Desktop/out.rgb

  Once I have this I can then compress and decompress successfully. I then get a working file to play back using ;

  But here I have pixel variance. My guess is there is a RGB-YUV-RGB conversion happening somewhere but I am not smart enough to work out where.
  If any of you can help I would forever grateful.

  Here is a picture of the two stills side by side that shows the differences ;

  pixel difference

  If you need anything more I can post it also.
  Cheers,
