In this post, I interview my former UMBC lab mate, Dr. Huguens Jean, who was just hired to work at Google’s Video AI Group as an artificial intelligence researcher. Huguens shares his inspirational story, starting from Port-au-Prince, Haiti where he…

In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement a simple scene boundary/shot transition detector with OpenCV. Two weeks ago I flew out to San Diego, CA for a vacation with my Dad. We were on the first flight out…

One of my favorite photography techniques is long exposure, the process of creating a photo that shows the effect of passing time, something that traditional photography does not capture. When applying this technique, water becomes silky smooth, stars in a…

Have you ever worked with a video file via OpenCV’s cv2.VideoCapture function and found that reading frames just felt slow and sluggish? I’ve been there — and I know exactly how it feels. Your entire video processing pipeline crawls along,…

Today’s blog post is part of a two part series on working with video files using OpenCV and Python. The first part of this series will focus on a question emailed in by PyImageSearch reader, Alex. Alex asks: I need…

Last week’s blog post taught us how to write videos to file using OpenCV and Python. This is a great skill to have, but it also raises the question: How do I write video clips containing interesting events to file…

Let me just start this blog post by saying that writing to video with OpenCV can be a huge pain in the ass. My intention with this tutorial is to help you get started writing videos to file with OpenCV…

One of my favorite parts of running the PyImageSearch blog is a being able to link together previous blog posts and create a solution to a particular problem — in this case, real-time panorama and image stitching with Python and…
