MediaLab for OpenCV

MediaLab is an application to help you process videos and images with OpenCV in particular without requiring any programming skills.

With MediaLab you may interactively explore the common OpenCV operations and play with the parameters. This may be saved as a JSON file called a Pipeline, and reused in other parts of the application, in particular for batch processing of videos and image folders.

We built this application to help with a scientific experiment that had many weeks worth of infrared video to process. In particular, they were looking for contour data, because they were interested in “counting” objects in the video.

As is common in scientific research, they were following a previously-documented “recipe” from a similar experiment, and were having problems with the existing applications they used.

Long story short: we built MediaLab and published it to the Windows Store, in hopes anyone else with similar needs can make use of it.
