🛠️ Usage

Here's a complete example showing how to use OpenSceneSense Ollama:

from openscenesense_ollama.models import AnalysisPrompts
from openscenesense_ollama.transcriber import WhisperTranscriber
from openscenesense_ollama.analyzer import OllamaVideoAnalyzer
from openscenesense_ollama.frame_selectors import DynamicFrameSelector
import logging

# Configure logging
logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
    datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
)

# Initialize Whisper transcriber
transcriber = WhisperTranscriber(
    model_name="openai/whisper-tiny"
)

# Custom prompts for analysis
custom_prompts = AnalysisPrompts(
    frame_analysis="Analyze this frame focusing on visible elements, actions, and their relationship with any audio.",
    detailed_summary="""Create a comprehensive narrative that cohesively integrates visual and audio elements into a single story or summary from this 
    {duration:.1f}-second video:\n\nVideo Timeline:\n{timeline}\n\nAudio Transcript:\n{transcript}""",
    brief_summary="""Based on this {duration:.1f}-second video timeline and audio transcript:\n{timeline}\n\n{transcript}\n
    Provide a concise cohesive short summary combining the key visual and audio elements."""
)

# Initialize analyzer
analyzer = OllamaVideoAnalyzer(
    frame_analysis_model="minicpm-v",
    summary_model="llama3.2",
    min_frames=10,
    max_frames=64,
    frames_per_minute=10.0,
    frame_selector=DynamicFrameSelector(),
    audio_transcriber=transcriber,
    prompts=custom_prompts,
    log_level=logging.INFO
)

# Analyze video
video_path = "your_video.mp4"
results = analyzer.analyze_video(video_path)

# Print results
print("\nBrief Summary:")
print(results['brief_summary'])

print("\nDetailed Summary:")
print(results['summary'])

print("\nVideo Timeline:")
print(results['timeline'])

print("\nMetadata:")
for key, value in results['metadata'].items():
    print(f"{key}: {value}")

⚙️ Configuration Options

The OllamaVideoAnalyzer class offers extensive configuration options to customize the analysis process:

Basic Configuration

• frame_analysis_model (str, default="llava")

  • The Ollama model to use for analyzing individual frames
  • Common options: "llava", "minicpm-v", "bakllava"
  • Choose models with vision capabilities for best results

• summary_model (str, default="claude-3-haiku")

  • The Ollama model used for generating video summaries
  • Common options: "llama3.2", "mistral", "claude-3-haiku"
  • Text-focused models work best for summarization

• host (str, default="http://localhost:11434")

  • The URL where your Ollama instance is running
  • Modify if running Ollama on a different port or remote server

Frame Selection Parameters

• min_frames (int, default=8)

  • Minimum number of frames to analyze
  • Lower values result in faster analysis but might miss details
  • Recommended range: 6-12 for short videos

• max_frames (int, default=64)

  • Maximum number of frames to analyze
  • Higher values provide more detailed analysis but increase processing time
  • Consider your hardware capabilities when adjusting this

• frames_per_minute (float, default=4.0)

  • Target rate of frame extraction
  • Higher values capture more temporal detail
  • Balance between detail and processing time
  • Recommended ranges:
    • 2-4 fps: Simple videos with minimal action
    • 4-8 fps: Standard content
    • 8+ fps: Fast-paced or complex scenes

Component Configuration

• frame_selector (Optional[FrameSelector], default=None)

  • Custom frame selection strategy
  • Defaults to basic uniform selection if None
  • Available built-in selectors:
    • DynamicFrameSelector: Adapts to scene changes
    • UniformFrameSelector: Evenly spaced frames
    • ContentAwareSelector: Selects based on visual importance

• audio_transcriber (Optional[AudioTranscriber], default=None)

  • Component for handling audio transcription
  • Defaults to no audio processing if None
  • Common options:

    WhisperTranscriber(
        model_name="openai/whisper-tiny",
        device="cuda"  # or "cpu"
    )

  • Custom function for processing individual frames
  • Allows integration of additional analysis tools
  • Must accept a Frame object and return a dictionary
  • Example:

    def custom_processor(frame: Frame) -> Dict:
        return {
            "timestamp": frame.timestamp,
            "custom_data": your_analysis(frame.image)
        }
    

• log_level (int, default=logging.INFO)

  • Controls verbosity of logging output
  • Common levels:
    • logging.DEBUG: Detailed debugging information
    • logging.INFO: General operational information
    • logging.WARNING: Warning messages only

    max_frames=48,
    frames_per_minute=6.0,
    frame_selector=DynamicFrameSelector(
        threshold=0.3,
        min_scene_length=1.0
    ),
    audio_transcriber=WhisperTranscriber(
        model_name="openai/whisper-base",
        device="cuda"
    ),
    prompts=AnalysisPrompts(
        frame_analysis="Detailed frame analysis prompt...",
        detailed_summary="Custom summary template...",
        brief_summary="Brief summary template..."
    ),
    custom_frame_processor=your_custom_processor,
    log_level=logging.DEBUG
)
