We start scripting our project in the file tensorflow_detection.py by loading the necessary packages:
import os
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
import six.moves.urllib as urllib
import tarfile
from PIL import Image
from tqdm import tqdm
from time import gmtime, strftime
import json
import cv2
In order to be able to process videos, apart from OpenCV 3, we also need the moviepy package. The package moviepy is a project that can be found at http://zulko.github.io/moviepy/ and freely used since it is distributed with an MIT license. As described on its home page, moviepy is a tool for video editing (that is cuts, concatenations, title insertions), video compositing (non-linear editing), video processing, or to create advanced effects.
The package operates with the most common video formats, including the GIF format. It needs the FFmpeg converter...
