We will learn how to calculate the total number of frames in OpenCV. Using OpenCV, it is elementary to count and show the total number of frames of a video. However, you have to store one thing in mind that we cannot count the total number of real-time video frames. ... Read More

When we want to store a video, we have to define the location we want to store. Then we need to specify FourCC, FourCC stands for 'Four Character Code'. It is a sequence of 4-byte characters that identifies data formats. We also need to declare the FPS to store a ... Read More

We used 'set()' class of OpenCV. Using 'set()' class, we can set the height and width of the frames. The following lines are setting the height and width of the video in our program.set(CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 320);set(CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 240);The first line is setting the width of the frames into 320 pixel and the ...

In this topic, we will know how to load a video file and play it using OpenCV, and we have to use a similar method that we have learned in the previous topic. The only difference is instead of putting the number as arguments of the object of 'VideoCapture' class, ... Read More

In this topic, we will determine how to use OpenCV to capture videos from the other cameras. The accessing of cameras other than the default camera is similar to accessing the default camera. There is only one difference that is instead of using 'VideoCapture cap(0)', we have to assign the ... Read More

Here, we will understand how to access the default camera and show the video stream from that camera. In a laptop, the fixed webcam is the default camera. In desktops, the default camera depends on the serial port's sequence where the camera is connected. When we want to capture the ... Read More

The histogram of an image shows the frequency of pixels' intensity values. In an image histogram, the X-axis shows the gray level intensities and the Y-axis shows the frequency of these intensities.Histogram equalization improves the contrast of an image, in order to stretch out the intensty range. You can equalize ... Read More

The histogram represents the depth intensity of an image. For example, consider an image with a color depth of 8 bit. It means every pixel can have color depth from 0 to  Means from 0 to 255. If the image is an RGB image, it has a red, green, and ... Read More

Changing brightness and contrast are frequent editing effect in image processing.Here, we will learn how to change the contrast of images. Contrast controls the sharpness of the image. Higher the contrast the sharper the image, lower the contrast the smother the image.Changing the contrast means increasing the weight of the ... Read More

The way of decreasing brightness is very similar to increasing brightness. The only difference is subtracting the 'Scalar (B, G, R)' from the image. Here, we are subtracting the scalar value to decrease the brightness.The following program shows how to decrease the brightness of an image in OpenCV.Example#include #include using ... Read More
