makevid
a command line tool to un-distort, combine and help analyze multiple video feeds from RPI's EMPAC facility
Requires the use of programs:
- mplayer
- mencoder
- ffmpeg
Python libraries:
- numpy
- scipy
- opencv (cv2)
Included with python install:
- shutil
- os
- sys
- subprocess
Description
This tool is used specifically for the feeds from Studio1, Studio2 and Mez cameras in RPI's EMPAC facility. For each location you can perform the following tasks:
- undistorting one image
- undistorting one feed of images
- stitching together multiple images
- stitching together multiple feeds of images
To do this consult the help text and use the appropriate flags. You can also change the defaults so that running the program with no flags will produce the desired result. This is done by editing the actual source code.
When running this program for multiple images the filenames should be of the format 'location-cameraNumber.png' for example 'Studio1-1.png'. The parent folder can be specifed seperately though.
When running this program for multiple feeds the files should be left in their origonal naming scheme with date and time information for a title and in folders numbered by the camera they were from. For example if all the Studio1 videos are in the parent folder Studio1/ the videos should be in Studio1/1/, Studio1/2/ and so on.
Help text
The text below can be displayed with the -h flag, and shows what settings are available. Some of the settings available are start and end time selection, parent folder location, which camera studio, resolution of the video (and therefore speed of stitching), and which cameras will be in the final product.
