Introducing competition utility scripts
Let’s begin by grouping the Python modules with reusable functions for video manipulation in two Kaggle utility scripts. The first utility script groups functions to load and display images from videos or play video files. The second one is geared toward object detection in videos – more specifically, to detect human faces and bodies – using a few alternative methods.
Video data utils
We developed a utility script to assist us in the manipulation of video data. Let’s introduce one utility script that we will use in the notebook associated with the current chapter to read video data, as well as visualize frames from a video file.
The video_utils utility script includes functions to load, transform, and display images from videos. Additionally, it also contains a function to play video content. For video manipulation, we will use the OpenCV library. OpenCV is an open-source computer vision library widely...
