UMC how to extract frames from MPEG2 video

ajambox-webpages — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 06:01:16 GMT

Hello, what I would like to do is extract frames from an MPEG2 video, eventually for use with OpenCV (, etc.) but right now I'm just writing to a PPM file. When I view the PPM file, however, the image is wrong (i.e., http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~aaved/imgoutput.jpg).

My questions: How do you extract the image from the VideoData object (i.e., m_lpDest[...]). It seems the data is YUV420, however, the results from ippiYUV420ToRGB_8u_P3C3R are not correct; is this the correct function I should call? What is the 'srcStep' of the data in the VideoData.m_lpDest? (That is, the distance between starts of consecutive lines in the source image.)The image width?

Also, what is the best way to advance the data in the VideoData buffer? Can I assume if I advance it the entire buffer length, that the buffer will contain only one frame (i.e., not 1.5 frames worth of data, etc.)

Any comments would be much appreciated; I'm about out of ideas :) I've tried to keep this short, please let me know if I need to clarify something.

Thank you!

PS, my save_ppm function correctly saves the results of an ippiImageJaehne_8u_C3R function call, so I don't think its the problem.

My code:

// #includes, etc.

static void save_ppm (int width, int height, Ipp8u * buf, int num, int stepSize)
{
char filename[100];
FILE * ppmfile;

sprintf (filename, "%d.ppm", num);
ppmfile = fopen (filename, "wb");
if (!ppmfile) {
fprintf (stderr, "Could not open file "%s". ", filename);
exit (1);
}
// P6 binary, and P3 ascii
fprintf (ppmfile, "P6 %d %d 255 ", width, height);

for (int i=0; i fwrite (&buf[i*stepSize], 3 * width, 1, ppmfile);
} // save_ppm

What version of IPP and media sample do you use?

I figured out the srcStep; it comes from m_lPitch member variable of UMC::VideoData. However, using

ippiYCbCr420ToRGB_8u_P3C3R(pSrcYUV, step, pOut, stepBytes, roiSize);

I'm still getting incorrect results: (http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~aaved/out2.jpg)

Did you try code like this one?

int step[3] = { out.m_lPitch [0], out.m_lPitch [2], out.m_lPitch [1]}; // I'm guessing its `width'stus = ippiYUV420ToRGB_8u_P3C3R(pSrcYUV, step, pOut, stepBytes, roiSize);
