About

The package is made as a solution when using video inputs in Machine Learning models. As extracting and storing frames in .JPEG files will quickly increase the memory requirements and more importantly the number of inodes, the package provides a convenient alternative. Video frames are stored as blobs at database file .db which can be read as quickly as the .JPEG files but without the additional large memory requirements.

Dataset structure

The package assumes a fixed dataset structure such as:

<dataset>    
  │
  └──<class 1>
  │     │
  │     │─── <video_data_1.mp4>
  │     │─── <video_data_2.mp4>
  │     │─── ...
  │    ...      
  │
  └───<class 2>
  │      │
  │      │─── <video_data_1.mp4>
  │      │─── <video_data_2.mp4>
  │      │─── ...
 ...    ...
