I have a 2giga mpeg file of people runnig,jogging,walking etc. in it. I will use it in a image classification project but I need to segmentate the video depending on per person an per action.
for example;
there are 25 people in video which repeat these actions in order
1st person
-runs
-walks
2nd person
-runs
-walks
and goes on....
and what I want is to have 2 different mpeg file for each person
such as;
firstperson_runs.mpeg
firstperson_waves.mpeg
so I need a tool to split big file into these files. Splitting shall be due to time.
such as;
pick t1:start of action
pick t2:end of action
create a new video from big file for the interval t1 and t2
of course I will select time intervals for each video.
OS:Winxp pro
if it can be done by matlab ,can you describe it?
any help???
I imagine there are a number of tools available to do this without MATLAB, but if you really want to use MATLAB I would check out these submissions on The MathWorks File Exchange:
Gerald Dalley's videoIO Toolbox for Matlab
Micah Richert's mmread
David Foti's mpgread and mpgwrite
EDIT:
As mentioned by M456, you can also use the built-in function MMREADER for creating a multimedia reader object for your movie file (and subsequently reading selected movie frames from it with the READ method). However, I don't know which version of MATLAB this function was introduced in. It is in versions 7.7 and 7.8 (R2008b and R2009a, respectively), but it is not in version 7.1.
Matlab can do such video split operations. There are two built in functions (aviread and mmreader) for reading video files. Both will create objects which contain the individual frames of the video. You can save these as separate frames or make a new video out of by using avifile.

I have already installed the both plugins but don't know how to use them for pod analysis. Need help in that as i don't have programming background. Also can we use it for batch processing of images, in case i have more than 100 images?
Another approach per specially coded ImageJ-macro gives reasonable estimates of the widths and lengths of all pods in the sample image. You can access the macro code from here. Unzip the zip-archive and drop the file "plantPodDimensions.ijm" onto the ImageJ main window. Then open the sample image and run the macro. The estimated pod dimensions appear in a table.
Specimen [right to left] Mean Pod Width [cm] Pod Length [cm]
OHiI7_pod-1 0.70±0.11 23.6
OHiI7_pod-2 0.59±0.09 22.3
OHiI7_pod-3 0.64±0.05 20.7
OHiI7_pod-4 0.41±0.04 20.5
OHiI7_pod-5 0.66±0.07 22.9
OHiI7_pod-6 0.68±0.10 24.4
OHiI7_pod-7 0.60±0.07 20.5
Of course it couldn't be tested, if the macro works as expected for other images than the sample image.
With the download of the plugins come documents that explain the use of the plugins. Batch processing is possible, if the starting points of the traces are known or can somehow be determined by additional pre-processing steps (not trivial). Both plugins are macro-recordable. In any case, batch processing will require some macro code.
For the use case in question I would recommend to perform the analyses via the GUI, not per batch processing. The coding of a suitable macro would take more time than the processing of 100+ images.
I would like to fill an array from a stream for around ten seconds.{I wish to do some processing on the data)So far I can:
(a) obtain the microphone stream using mediaRecorder
(b) use analyser and analyser.getFloatTimeDomainData(dataArray) to obtain an array but it is size limited to only a little over half a second of data.I can also successfully output the data after processing back onto a stream and to outDestination.
(c) I have also experimented with obtaining a 'chunks' array from mediaRecorder directly but the problem then is that I can't find any mime type that would give me a simple array of values - ie an uncompressed sample by sample single channel set of value - ie a longer version of 'dataArray' in (b).
I am wondering if I am missing a simple way round this problem?
Solutions I have seen tend to use step (b) and do regular polls then reassemble a longer array - however it seems the timing is a bit tricky ..
I'v also seen suggestions to use audio workouts - I might have to do this but would prefer a simpler solution!
Or again, if someone knows how to drive mediaRecorder to output the chunks array in a simple array format FLOAT32.of one channel.That would do the trick.
Or maybe I'm missing something simpler?
I have code showing those steps that have been successful and will upload if anyone requests.
I have a simple script that uses music21 to process the notes in a midi file:
import music21
score = music21.converter.parse('www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/zanac1a.mid')
for i in score.flat.notes:
print(i.offset, i.quarterLength, i.pitch.midi)
Is there a way to also obtain a note's voicing / midi program using a flat score? Any pointers would be appreciated!
MIDI channels and programs are stored on Instrument instances, so use getContextByClass(instrument.Instrument) to find the closest Instrument in the stream, and then access its .midiProgram.
Be careful:
.midiChannel and .midiProgram are 0-indexed, so MIDI channel 10 will be 9 in music21, etc., (we're discussing changing this behavior in the next release)
Some information might be missing if you're not running the bleeding edge version (we merged a patch yesterday on this topic), so I advise pulling from git: pip install git+https://github.com/cuthbertLab/music21
.flat is going to kill you, though, if the file is multitrack. If you follow my advice you'll just get the last instrument on every track. 90% of the time people doing .flat actually want .recurse().
I'm trying to use GDCL MP4 Muxer with my RTSP Source Filter. They work fine together except after stopping the graph, muxer doesn't finilize the file and write the reqiured tables to the end of file via file writer (some parts are written starting from moov but not the time table values). When I try another RTSP source filter (which I don't have its source codes), table values are created with GDCL MP4 Muxer.
But when I try Elecard's MP4 Muxer, it works fine with my RTSP Source Filter. So, there is an incompatibility. I examined GDCL's source codes but couldn't find what it was expecting from me. I already calculate and set timestamp values to samples using SetTime method. But GDCL still doesn't finilaze file. Is it caused by missing information or missing signal when graph stops? What can be the problem, any ideas?
One thing you should be aware of regarding Geraint's MP4 Mux is that it is checking incoming media samples to have both start and stop time. You might be having only .tStart/AM_SAMPLE_TIMEVALID which still makes sense for video, but this would be a problem.
So the samples have to have stop time, or you need to fix this in multiplexer code.
A typical symptom for the problem is that generated files are empty or of zero duration.
We are seeing this when "tying" two video files together.
Example we have Ad video that is segmented and content file which is also segmented.
We create a new file which has both Ad and content segment information together. However we are seeing an issue where either the Ad content is truncated or the content starts having A/V sync issues.
Both ad and content are segmented the same way , 5 sec segmentation. however since Ads are variable length the result file may have left over segment something like:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:5
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:5,
fileSequence6.ts
#EXTINF:5,
fileSequence7.ts
#EXTINF:4,
fileSequence8.ts
#EXTINF:5,
fileSequence0.ts
#EXTINF:5,
fileSequence1.ts
#EXTINF:5,
fileSequence2.ts
#EXTINF:3,
fileSequence3.ts
Is this the proper way to play 2 files one after the other without rebuffering?
should generate-variant-plist be used to a play list of 2 files?
When you have a break in the stream to switch to a commercial, ad, or alternate video source then you want to introduce the discontinuity tag before the start of the next segment, for example:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:5
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:5,
movie0.ts
#EXTINF:2,
movie1.ts
#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY
#EXTINF:5,
commercial0.ts
#EXTINF:5,
commercial1.ts
#EXTINF:3,
commercial2.ts
This gets a little more complicated if you encrypt the streams because they use progressive encryption based on the prior segments encryption state and the sequence number which come together to form an "Initialization Vector". If you break the stream you have to reset the initialization vector so that the encryption/decryption can continue uninterrupted. This is an involved process so best to just search on Initialization Vector in Apple's docs.
