    video2img1(pv)

My program has a problem with the progress bar. The total number of frames obtained by the program is slightly larger than the total number of pictures actually saved, which prevents the progress bar from reaching 100%. As to what is the reason, I did not go into it.

• Lose one step

If you want to make bulk changes to all the video files in a file, you can modify the u main_u section

if __name__ == '__main__':
    path = r'E:\Test'	# Folder Path
    filelist = os.listdir(path)		# Get all the files/folders under the folder (current layer, no recursion)
    for fi in filelist:
        if fi.endswith('.mp4'):		# Determine whether video files, if they are all video files, can not do this step
            video2img1(fi)

• Extract Keyframe

The above method extracts all the frames, which is actually not very good in most cases. In my example, I extract all the frames of a video with a duration of about 1 minute, a frame rate of 25fps (25 frames per second) and a resolution of 1920x1080 for 1400 + pictures, with a total space of 600+M.For frame speed, up to 120 frames (Baidu Encyclopedia), the resolution is now 4K or higher.More importantly, many of the extracted pictures are identical, at least to the naked eye.

To address this issue, I've seen the phrase extracting keyframes, such as CV | Python + OpenCV Extract Keyframes from Video , I understand the practice of this article is to take one per second, the specific operation is to extract the frame frequency, only when the frame pointer%frame frequency==0, save the current frame picture.

Others are more academic. Generally speaking, it is sorted according to the differences between the frame pictures, and saved the frame pictures with big differences before the examination. Similar frames will not be saved (one left), which means Xue Weiwei has some meaning of image recognition, so it is not deep.There is such an article: python for video keyframe extraction (based on inter-frame difference) - You can refer to it
