- Ludwig Ahgren, a popular streamer and YouTuber, livestreamed his entire life for around a month between March and April 2021.
- Every time a Twitch viewer donated, an onscreen timer would increase. If the timer ever decremented so far that it reached zero, the subathon would be over.
update_bboxfinds and updates the bounding box of the timer using a mask to match the background color and Cannny edge detection. This is typically quite fast (< 5 ms), so I call it every frame. This may change in the future.get_str_from_croppedOCRs that bbox after applying some filters and removing noise.get_timestamp_from_stris a simple regex that converts a time string (HHH:MM:SS) into a Unix timestamp.
get_framesandprocess_framepush and pop into a work queue, respectively.
- Samples are 1 / sec. Even if OCR were only 40% successful, this would be more than enough data.
- Depending on internet, this may take a while. My initial goal was to spend 1 sec real time per 10 seconds of footage processed. Right now it's about 1:8.
- See data/csvs and data/graphs.
- Unscuff
"video_timestamp"column - Add proper
loggingsupport - Make OCR more reliable— right now it is only 60-80%. Specifically, the program fails when the timer flashes red or there is too much noise around the timer
-
In a similar vein, make 240p (or even 144p) usable. - More threads/processes— the program is usually not bound by network IO
- Write more tests
- Add more data
- Write proper docstrings/type hints. Sphinx?
- Add SQL DB support
-
Automatic load balancing—— PID over length of queue?
- ETA faulty when
start_frac != 0 - Threads aren't synchronized— e.g. when
frac_done == 0.35, one could be 34% done and another 36%. Smarterfrac_donewill fix this. - Interrupting with ctrl-C usually causes the csv to delete
