How to test on a live video stream

[vismayaps]

I have trained on my dataset and weights are generated. I want to test the model on a live video stream connected to a camera and display the live results. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to use a webcam, you can replace:

    video_reader = cv2.VideoCapture(image_path)

with:

    video_reader = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

or if you want to use a RTSP transmission, you could use something like this:

    video_reader = cv2.VideoCapture("rtsp://username:password@ip:port/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1")

and inside the for loop, you can use this code below to show the image:

    cv2.imshow("video", image)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break
