ffmpegcv

An alternative to OPENCV for video reading&writing.

The ffmpegcv provide Video Reader and Video Witer with ffmpeg backbone, which are faster and powerful than cv2. Integrating ffmpegcv into your deeplearning pipeline is very smooth.

• The ffmpegcv is api compatible to open-cv.
• The ffmpegcv can use GPU accelerate encoding and decoding*.
• The ffmpegcv supports much more video codecs v.s. open-cv.
• The ffmpegcv supports RGB & BGR & GRAY format as you like.
• The ffmpegcv supports fp32 CHW & HWC format shortcut to CUDA memory.
• The ffmpegcv supports Stream reading (IP Camera) in low latency.
• The ffmpegcv supports ROI operations.You can crop, resize and pad the ROI.

In all, ffmpegcv is just similar to opencv api. But it has more codecs and does’t require opencv installed at all. It’s great for deeplearning pipeline.
