Video Hook Documentation
<H1><A NAME="SEC1" HREF="hooks.html#TOC1">1. Introduction</A></H1>
<P>
The video hook functionality is designed (mostly) for live video. It allows
the video to be modified or examined between the decoder and the encoder.
<P>
Any number of hook modules can be placed inline, and they are run in the
order that they were specified on the ffmpeg command line.
<P>
Three modules are provided and are described below. They are all intended to
be used as a base for your own modules.
<P>
Modules are loaded using the -vhook option to ffmpeg. The value of this parameter
is a space seperated list of arguments. The first is the module name, and the rest
are passed as arguments to the Configure function of the module.
<H2><A NAME="SEC2" HREF="hooks.html#TOC2">1.1 null.c</A></H2>
<P>
This does nothing. Actually it converts the input image to RGB24 and then converts
it back again. This is meant as a sample that you can use to test your setup.
<H2><A NAME="SEC3" HREF="hooks.html#TOC3">1.2 fish.c</A></H2>
<P>
This implements a 'fish detector'. Essentially it converts the image into HSV
space and tests whether more than a certain percentage of the pixels fall into
a specific HSV cuboid. If so, then the image is saved into a file for processing
by other bits of code.
<P>
Why use HSV? It turns out that HSV cuboids represent a more compact range of
colors than would an RGB cuboid.
<H2><A NAME="SEC4" HREF="hooks.html#TOC4">1.3 imlib2.c</A></H2>
<P>
This allows a caption to be placed onto each frame. It supports inserting the
time and date. By using the imlib functions, it would be easy to add your own
graphical logo, add a frame/border, etc.
