Video face detection frame sampling












0















I am using OpenCV python to detect faces in a video(30fps). The problem is my code runs detection algorithm for each frame in the video, which is slow and inefficient. Is there any way to sample only a few frames from the video that speeds up this process?

  • yes, just skip the frames by using the command "continue". Share your code so that we can help you guide you to what you are trying to achieve

You can use the frame count to determine if process current frame. Below code for your reference.



if frame_count % 5 == 0:
face_detect(frame)
else:
continue
