Display date and time in videos
It sometimes becomes necessary to display date and time on videos when we are processing videos of live feed or videos which are of a large duration. Time and date will be helpful to know and analyze any anomaly detected in the video with reference to its time and date. To display date and time on videos we do the following.
Code
Python3
import numpy
import cv2
import datetime
vid = cv2.VideoCapture( 'sample.mp4' )
while (vid.isOpened()):
ret, frame = vid.read()
if ret:
font = cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SCRIPT_COMPLEX
dt = str (datetime.datetime.now())
frame = cv2.putText(frame, dt,
( 10 , 100 ),
font, 1 ,
( 210 , 155 , 155 ),
4 , cv2.LINE_8)
cv2.imshow( 'frame' , frame)
key = cv2.waitKey( 1 )
if key = = 'q' or key = = 27 :
break
else :
break
vid.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
