• A *hot* Piwik Community Meetup 2015 !

  10 août 2015, par André Bräkling — Community

  Last weekend I arrived in Germany to attend the Piwik Community Meetup 2015 and now I am in Poland.

  The meetup was HOT in every sense ! Berlin temperatures reached 35 degrees (celsius), as I finally meet in person several long-time, dedicated Piwik community contributors.

  In the first leg of my trip I was in Berlin to meet Piwik community members to prepare for the 2015 annual Piwik community meetup. These are my notes taken during the meeting at the request of one of my colleagues. I also relayed live on Framasphère, Twitter and IRC.

  This was harder than I expected, as I took notes with my laptop, pictures with my phone, wrote live to social media (using the Android Diaspora Native Web App), and used my laptop to relay on IRC. Going forward this requires better preparation, I was glad I had a few links and pictures ready before hand but it really requires intense focus to achieve this. I am glad presenters were patient when I requested repeating some of the ideas they shared. I am also a bit disappointed not much happened in IRC.

  Two day preparation sessions

  The discussions and session we had during the two days prior to the meetup are available here.

  We gathered in rented apartments in Berlin, this reminded me very much of similar community gatherings and perhaps of BarCamp and, at a much smaller scale, UDS sessions.

  A list of ideas of topics was initially submitted, we then proceeded to have scheduled sessions for open discussion. Several people shared their concern there was no possible remote participation which led to making public the Trello boards used/linked here.

  Note : The Trello links below still have action items and notes that are pending bug report / feature requests filing which should happen over the coming weeks. Most importantly, many action items will need identifying leads for different community team including Translations and Documentation, and better coordination of coming community engagement.

  Monday sessions consisted of the following subjects :

  • What are Piwik values & how to communicate them ? (see below for details)
  • How to encourage and recognize new external contributors ?
  • How could we double the Piwik userbase ?
  • How Community can organise help resources

  On Tuesday we met again to discuss the following subjects :

  • Piwik Long Term support (LTS)
  • How do Piwik.org (project) and Piwik PRO (company) sit together / are organized ? – An important part of this session was about having better communication channels and improving the new team page (bug #8520 and bug #8519, respectively)
  • Improving usability of Piwik e.g. for new users – this last session was not held has we ran out of time and prepared to go to the meetup venue.

  Some more details about individual preparation sessions

  What are Piwik values & how to communicate them ?

  The main subjects in this session were important changes proposed in the project mission and values. This was edited directly on on the wiki page on GitHub, some of the changes can be seen by comparing revisions.

  Piwik mission statement (bug #7376)

  “To create the leading Free and open source analytics platform, and to support global organisations and communities to keep full control over their data.”

  Our values

  • Openness
  • Freedom
  • Transparency
  • Data ownership
  • Privacy
  • Kaizen (改善) : continuous improvement

  This was also presented by Matthieu Aubry at the meetup and is published in the Roadmap page. Bringing more visibility and perhaps having a top page for Mission and Values was also brought up.

  Meetup agenda and notes

  The official agenda is available here.

  Many Piwik PRO employees stayed in Berlin for the meetup, and we had good participation although less than last year in Munich as my colleagues told me. Some were consultants, others staff from public organizations, universities, etc. In retrospect considering the very hot weather and summer holidays the attendance was good. I was very happy to arrive at the beautiful Kulturbrauerei and enter the air-conditioned Soda Club. T-Shirts were waiting for all attendees and free drinks (non-alcohol !) were welcome

• A *hot* Piwik Community Meetup 2015 !

  10 août 2015 — Community

  Last weekend I arrived in Germany to attend the Piwik Community Meetup 2015 and now I am in Poland. I joined Piwik PRO back in May as enterprise support project coordinator in North America. I am now writing this from the Piwik PRO main office in Wrocław, where I’ll be working from for the next two weeks.

  The meetup was HOT in every sense ! Berlin temperatures reached 35 degrees (celsius), as I finally meet in person several long-time, dedicated Piwik community contributors.

• Frames took with ELP camera has unknown pixel format at FHD ?

  11 novembre 2024, par Marcel Kopera

  I'm trying to take a one frame ever x seconds from my usb camera. Name of the camera is : ELP-USBFHD06H-SFV(5-50).
Code is not 100% done yet, but I'm using it this way right now ↓ (shot fn is called from main.py in a loop)

  


  
import cv2
import subprocess

from time import sleep
from collections import namedtuple

from errors import *

class Camera:
    def __init__(self, cam_index, res_width, res_height, pic_format, day_time_exposure_ms, night_time_exposure_ms):
        Resolution = namedtuple("resolution", ["width", "height"])
        self.manual_mode(True)

        self.cam_index = cam_index
        self.camera_resolution = Resolution(res_width, res_height)
        self.picture_format = pic_format
        self.day_time_exposure_ms = day_time_exposure_ms
        self.night_time_exposure_ms = night_time_exposure_ms

        self.started: bool = False
        self.night_mode = False

        self.cap = cv2.VideoCapture(self.cam_index, cv2.CAP_V4L2)
        self.cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, self.camera_resolution.width)
        self.cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, self.camera_resolution.height)
        self.cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FOURCC, cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*self.picture_format))

    

    def start(self):
        sleep(1)
        if not self.cap.isOpened():
            return CameraCupError()

        self.set_exposure_time(self.day_time_exposure_ms)
        self.set_brightness(0)
        sleep(0.1)
        
        self.started = True



    def shot(self, picture_name, is_night):
        if not self.started:
            return InitializationError()

        self.configure_mode(is_night)

        # Clear buffer
        for _ in range(5):
            ret, _ = self.cap.read()

        ret, frame = self.cap.read()

        sleep(0.1)

        if ret:
            print(picture_name)
            cv2.imwrite(picture_name, frame)
            return True

        else:
            print("No photo")
            return False


    
    def release(self):
        self.set_exposure_time(156)
        self.set_brightness(0)
        self.manual_mode(False)
        self.cap.release()



    def manual_mode(self, switch: bool):
        if switch:
            subprocess.run(["v4l2-ctl", "--set-ctrl=auto_exposure=1"])
        else:
            subprocess.run(["v4l2-ctl", "--set-ctrl=auto_exposure=3"])
        sleep(1)

    
    
    def configure_mode(self, is_night):
        if is_night == self.night_mode:
            return

        if is_night:
            self.night_mode = is_night
            self.set_exposure_time(self.night_time_exposure_ms)
            self.set_brightness(64)
        else:
            self.night_mode = is_night
            self.set_exposure_time(self.day_time_exposure_ms)
            self.set_brightness(0)
        sleep(0.1)



    def set_exposure_time(self, ms: int):
        ms = int(ms)
        default_val = 156

        if ms < 1 or ms > 5000:
            ms = default_val

        self.cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_EXPOSURE, ms)



    def set_brightness(self, value: int):
        value = int(value)
        default_val = 0

        if value < -64 or value > 64:
            value = default_val

        self.cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_BRIGHTNESS, value)


  


  Here are settings for the camera (yaml file)

  


  camera:
  camera_index: 0
  res_width: 1920
  res_height: 1080
  picture_format: "MJPG"
  day_time_exposure_ms: 5
  night_time_exposure_ms: 5000
  photos_format: "jpg"



  


  I do some configs like set manual mode for the camera, change exposure/brightness and saving frame.
Also the camera is probably catching the frames to the buffer (it is not saving latest frame in real time : it's more laggish), so I have to clear buffer every time. like this

  


          # Clear buffer from old frames
        for _ in range(5):
            ret, _ = self.cap.read()
        
        # Get a new frame
        ret, frame = self.cap.read()


  


  What I really don't like, but I could find a better way (tldr : setting buffer for 1 frame doesn't work on my camera).

  


  Frames saved this method looks good with 1920x1080 resolution. BUT when I try to run ffmpeg command to make a timelapse from saved jpg file like this

  


  ffmpeg -framerate 20 -pattern_type glob -i "*.jpg" -c:v libx264 output.mp4


  


  I got an error like this one

  


  [image2 @ 0x555609c45240] Could not open file : 08:59:20.jpg
[image2 @ 0x555609c45240] Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video: mjpeg, none(bt470bg/unknown/unknown)): unspecified size

Output #0, mp4, to 'output.mp4':
Output file #0 does not contain any stream


  


  Also when I try to copy the files from Linux to Windows I get some weird copy failing error and option to skip the picture. But even when I press the skip button, the picture is copied and can be opened. I'm not sure what is wrong with the format, but the camera is supporting MPEG at 1920x1080.

  I also tried to save the picture using ffmpeg in a case something is not right with opencv like this :

  


  ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 30 -video_size 1920x1080 -i /dev/video0 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 23 -t 00:01:00 output.mp4



  


  It is saving the picture but also changing its format

  


  [video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x555659ed92b0] The V4L2 driver changed the video from 1920x1080 to 800x600
[video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x555659ed92b0] The driver changed the time per frame from 1/30 to 1/15


  


  But the format looks right when set it back to FHD using v4l2

  


  
>>> v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=MJPG
>>> v4l2-ctl --get-fmt-video

  I'm not sure what could be wrong with the format/camera and I don't think I have enough information to figure it out.

  


  I tried to use ffmpeg instead of opencv and also change a few settings in opencv's cup config.
