Body
I have a 33 second video that I'm trying to process with OpenCV. My goal is to determine what instance in time (relative to the start of the video) each frame corresponds to. I'm doing this in order to be able to compare frames from videos of the same scene that have been recorded at different frame rates. What's working: <ul> <li>The FPS is correctly reported as 59.75. This is consistent with what <code>ffprobe</code> reports, so I'm happy to believe that's correct.</li> </ul> The problems I'm having are: <ul> <li><code>CAP_PROP_POS_MSEC</code> returns incorrect values. By the end of the video, it's up to 557924ms (over 9 min). For a 33s video, this can't be right.</li> <li><code>CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT</code> is also incorrect. It's reported as 33371, which at 59.75 fps would give over 9 minutes worth of footage. Consistent with the above error, but still incorrect.</li> <li><code>CAP_PROP_POS_FRAME</code> is similarly incorrect.</li> </ul> The video can be found <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15815235/sequence.mp4" rel="noreferrer">here</a> (approx. 10MB). Any ideas on what could be wrong? <code>ffprobe</code> output: <pre><code>FFprobe version SVN-r20090707, Copyright (c) 2007-2009 Stefano Sabatini libavutil 49.15. 0 / 49.15. 0 libavcodec 52.20. 0 / 52.20. 1 libavformat 52.31. 0 / 52.31. 0 built on Jan 20 2010 00:13:01, gcc: 4.4.3 20100116 (prerelease) Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '/home/misha/Dropbox/Public/sequence.mp4': Duration: 00:00:33.37, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 2760 kb/s Stream #0.0(und): Video: h264, yuv420p, 1920x1080, 59.75 tbr, 1k tbn, 2k tbc Stream #0.1(und): Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16 </code></pre> Full code: <pre><code>#include <iostream> #include <assert.h> #include <cv.h> #include <highgui.h> #include <cmath> #include <iostream> #include <string.h> #include <stdio.h> extern "C" { #include "options.h" } using namespace std; #define DEBUG 0 static void print_usage(char *argv0) { cerr << "usage: " << argv0 << " video.avi [options]" << endl; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { if (argc < 2) { print_usage(argv[0]); return -1; } int step = 30; struct Option options[] = { { "step", 1, &step }, { NULL, 0, NULL } }; int ret = parse_options(2, argc, argv, options); if (ret == 0) { print_usage(argv[0]); return -1; } CvCapture *capture = cvCaptureFromFile(argv[1]); int counter = 0; while (cvGrabFrame(capture)) { ++counter; IplImage *frame = cvRetrieveFrame(capture); double millis = cvGetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_POS_MSEC); double current = cvGetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES); double total = cvGetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT); printf("%d %d/%d %f\n", counter, (int)current, (int)total, millis); int min = (int)(millis/1000/60); millis -= min*60000; int sec = (int)(millis/1000); millis -= sec*1000; printf("%d %02d:%02d:%f\n", counter, min, sec, millis); } cvReleaseCapture(&capture); return 0; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
