i am working on an Opencv project and when trying to add the gui for it, i wanted to use PyQt because i am familiar with it.
in this code
import cv2
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget, QLabel, QApplication
from PyQt5.QtCore import QThread, Qt, pyqtSignal, pyqtSlot
from PyQt5.QtGui import QImage, QPixmap
class Thread(QThread):
changePixmap = pyqtSignal(QImage)
def run(self):
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("../Testing-Video.mp4")
while True:
ret, frame = cap.read()
if ret:
rgbImage = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
h, w, ch = rgbImage.shape
bytesPerLine = ch * w
convertToQtFormat = QImage(rgbImage.data, w, h, bytesPerLine,
QImage.Format_RGB888)
p = convertToQtFormat.scaled(640, 480, Qt.KeepAspectRatio)
self.changePixmap.emit(p)
class App(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.left=0
self.top=0
self.width=600
self.height=800
self.initUI()
@pyqtSlot(QImage)
def setImage(self, image):
self.label.setPixmap(QPixmap.fromImage(image))
def initUI(self):
self.setWindowTitle("Testing PyQt")
self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)
self.resize(800, 600)
# create a label
self.label = QLabel(self)
self.label.resize(640, 480)
th = Thread(self)
th.changePixmap.connect(self.setImage)
th.start()
self.show()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = App()
ex.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
which is something i didn't write myself, it's slightly adjusted from here , anyways using the Camera video capture, it works perfectly but when using any other video media, the playback is extremely fast, should i use a timer to call the frames constantly? better than using signal and slots?
