Python use libraries for image and video processing. OpenCV is a library that helps in providing various functions for image and video operations. In this we can capture a video by the camera. Following are the steps:
- Import the OpenCV library:First we have to install OpenCV.
- Create a video capture object: Use cv.VideoCapture() to get a vide
- Set up an infinite loop: Inside a while loop, use the read() method to continuously read frames from the camera. This loop will keep capturing frames until you break out of it.
- Display the frames: Use cv.imshow() to display the frames in a window.
- Break the loop: To exit the loop, you can set a specific key as quitting button.
import cv video=cv.VideoCapture(0) while(True): ret, frame = video.read() cv.imshow('frame', frame) if cv.waitkey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'): break video.release() cv.destroyAllWindows()
