Creates a barcode of the movie by taking the average color of the frames and stacking them left to right
By stacking the frames, we get a timeline of the use of color throughout the movie
Following libraries need to be installed
- numpy
- cv2
Total number of frames are calculated from the video file usually the number of frames is very large as per the video size, we normalize that amount by skipping certain number of frames and try to keep the output image with around 1000 pixels of width and 300 pixels of height
Then average color of the frames are calculated and the output barcode image is filled with these colors respectively
The image below is created after calculating the average from the video of the Dota 2 game trailer for one of the in game events
Video link Aghanim's Labyrinth Trailer
If we have a look at the video the color scheme gradually changes to blue so does our movie barcode, the same principle will be applied to larger videos

If it isn't abundantly clear, all the images and videos of Dota 2 are property of Dota 2, I don't own nor am I claiming that I do
- Update working to have command line args
- Create a standalone python
- Speed improvements
