'Record before and after with Webcam
Hi I'm making a securitycam. I made it so green outlines marke the object. now it should start a video after a object is found. (I want it to start recording after a movement was detected for 60 seconds.) Then make this into a file I can see. How can I do that?
Here is my code:
import cv2
vc = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
if vc.isOpened(): # try to get the first frame
rval, frame = vc.read()
else:
rval = False
# capturing video
capture = vc
while capture.isOpened():
# to read frame by frame
_, img_1 = capture.read()
_, img_2 = capture.read()
# find difference between two frames
diff = cv2.absdiff(img_1, img_2)
# to convert the frame to grayscale
diff_gray = cv2.cvtColor(diff, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# apply some blur to smoothen the frame
diff_blur = cv2.GaussianBlur(diff_gray, (5, 5), 0)
# to get the binary image
_, thresh_bin = cv2.threshold(diff_blur, 20, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
# to find contours
contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh_bin, cv2.RETR_TREE, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
# to draw the bounding box when the motion is detected
for contour in contours:
x, y, w, h = cv2.boundingRect(contour)
if cv2.contourArea(contour) > 300:
cv2.rectangle(img_1, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
print("Somethin was moved")
else:
print("Nothing was moved")
# cv2.drawContours(img_1, contours, -1, (0, 255, 0), 2)
# display the output
cv2.imshow("Output", img_1)
if cv2.waitKey(100) == 13:
exit()
