Video Augmentation Techniques for Deep Learning

This python library helps you with augmenting videos for your deep learning architectures. It converts input videos into a new, much larger set of slightly altered videos.

Requirements and installation

Required packages:

• numpy
• PIL
• scipy
• skimage
• OpenCV (i.e. cv2)

For installation, simply use sudo pip install git+https://github.com/okankop/vidaug. Alternatively, the repository can be download via git clone https://github.com/okankop/vidaug and installed by using python setup.py sdist && pip install dist/vidaug-0.1.tar.gz.

Examples

A classical video classification with CNN using augmentations on videos. Train on batches of images and augment each batch via random crop, random crop and horizontal flip:

from vidaug import augmentors as va

sometimes = lambda aug: va.Sometimes(0.5, aug) # Used to apply augmentor with 50% probability
seq = va.Sequential([
    va.RandomCrop(size=(240, 180)), # randomly crop video with a size of (240 x 180)
    va.RandomRotate(degrees=10), # randomly rotates the video with a degree randomly choosen from [-10, 10]  
    sometimes(va.HorizontalFlip()) # horizontally flip the video with 50% probability
])

for batch_idx in range(1000):
    # 'video' should be either a list of images from type of numpy array or PIL images
    video = load_batch(batch_idx)
    video_aug = seq(video)
    train_on_video(video)
