How to Transform Images and Create Video with OpenCV

When you work with OpenCV, you most often work with images. However, you may find it useful to create animation from multiple images. Chances are that showing images in rapid succession may give you different insight or it is easier to visualize your work by introducing a time axis.

In this post, you will see how to create a video clip in OpenCV. As an example, you will also learn some basic image manipulation techniques to create the images. In particular, you will learn:

• How to manipulate images as numpy array
• How to manipulate images using OpenCV functions
• How to create video file in OpenCV

Kick-start your project with my book Machine Learning in OpenCV. It provides self-study
