A tool for detecting slide changes in videos and saving them as PowerPoint slides.

Project description

SlideDetect

SlideDetect is a Python tool designed to detect slide changes in videos and save them as individual slides in a PowerPoint presentation. It utilizes computer vision techniques to analyze video frames and identify moments where slide content changes, making it an invaluable resource for capturing presentation slides from recorded lectures, webinars, and other video presentations.

Installation

SlideDetect requires Python 3.6 or newer. Before installing SlideDetect, ensure you have Python installed on your system. You can download and install SlideDetect using the following command:

pip install SlideDetect

Usage

After installation, you can use SlideDetect from the command line. Here's how you can detect slides in a video:

slide-detector <path_to_video> <output_folder> --threshold <threshold_value>
  • <path_to_video>: The path to the video file you want to process.

  • <output_folder>: The directory where you want to save the extracted slides.

  • (Optional) --threshold <threshold_value>: A numeric threshold value between 0 and 1 for detecting slide changes. Higher values make slide change detection more strict. The default --threshold value is 1 if --threshold <threshold_value> has no input.

Example:

slide-detector "C:\Users\Videos\Example.mp4" "C:\Users\Videos\" --threshold 0.8

Features

  • Video Processing: Efficiently processes video files to detect slide changes.

  • Slide Extraction: Saves detected slides as individual PowerPoint slides.

  • Customizable Threshold: Allows the user to set a custom threshold for slide change detection, accommodating different video qualities and styles.

Dependencies

SlideDetect depends on the following Python libraries; however, these dependencies will be automatically installed when installing SlideDetect via pip:

  • OpenCV
  • NumPy
  • python-pptx
  • Pillow
  • tqdm
