Computer vision enables powerful video analysis capabilities. Here's how I build production CV pipelines.

Pipeline Architecture

1. Video Processing

  • Frame extraction
  • Preprocessing
  • Batch processing

2. Object Detection

  • Model selection
  • Inference optimization
  • Post-processing

3. Annotation

  • Automated labeling
  • Quality assurance
  • Export formats

Performance Optimization

  • GPU acceleration
  • Batch processing
  • Caching strategies
  • Parallel processing

Example Implementation

import cv2

def process_video(video_path):
    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)
    while cap.isOpened():
        ret, frame = cap.read()
        if not ret:
            break
        # Process frame
        results = detect_objects(frame)
        annotate_frame(frame, results)
    cap.release()

— end —
