Detailed Description

An output stream which takes a sequence of images and writes a video file in any of a given of compatible formats.

The output file is open when calling "open", and it's closed at destructor or after calling "close".

Example of usage:

CVideoFileWriter  vid;
vid.open("test.avi",15,TPixelCoord(320,200), "MJPG");
CImage  img(320,200);
vid << img;
vid.close;

There are two methods for adding frames to the video:

The operator <<: Which will raise an exception on any error.
The method writeImage, which does not raise any exception on errors.

Note: This class is a wrapper for OpenCV's CvVideoWriter.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CVideoFileWriter()

mrpt::vision::CVideoFileWriter::CVideoFileWriter ( )

Default constructor, which does not open any file.

◆ ~CVideoFileWriter()

virtual mrpt::vision::CVideoFileWriter::~CVideoFileWriter ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ close()

void mrpt::vision::CVideoFileWriter::close ( )

Finish the file writing and close the file output.

◆ isOpen()

bool mrpt::vision::CVideoFileWriter::isOpen ( ) const

Return true if already successfully open with open() and not closed yet.

◆ open()

bool mrpt::vision::CVideoFileWriter::open	(	const std::string &	out_file,
		double	fps,
		const mrpt::utils::TImageSize &	frameSize,
		const std::string &	fourcc = `std::string("")`,
		bool	isColor = `true`
	)

Open a file for writing the video.

Parameters

out_file	The video file to create for output.
fourcc	The video codec, as a string. See notes below. \paam fps The video FPS (frames per seconds).
frameSize	The size of the video frames. All subsequent images must be of this size.
isColor	Set to false to create a grayscale video.

Note: If fourcc is left as an empty string a default codec will be seleceted (e.g. "IYUV").; Other valid values for "fourcc" are: "PIM1" -> MPEG1, "MJPG" -> Motion JPEG, "XVID", etc...

Returns: false on any error, true on success.

◆ operator<<()

const CVideoFileWriter& mrpt::vision::CVideoFileWriter::operator<< ( const mrpt::utils::CImage & img ) const

Write image to the video file.

Exceptions

std::exception On any error

◆ writeImage()

bool mrpt::vision::CVideoFileWriter::writeImage ( const mrpt::utils::CImage & img ) const

Write image to the video file (method function, alternative to the operator <<).

Returns: false on any error
