MATLAB CODE to get images from video:
To extract frames from a video.
The above process can be done using 'mmreader' function also.
MATLAB CODE:
Vobj=mmreader('fun.avi');
Im=read(Vobj,58);
imshow(Im);
To extract frames from a video.
Frames can be obtained from a video and converted into
images. To convert a video frame into an image, the MATLAB function ‘frame2im’
is used.
To read a video in avi format,
the function ‘aviread’ is used. The
original format of the video that I am using as an example is .gif file format.
I converted the .gif file format image into an avi format video. Learn how to convert a gif image into a video...
For instance, in the ‘fun.avi’
video I am interested in the frame number 58. So I am converting the 58th
frame into an image.
MATLAB CODE:
%How to get frames from a
video
mov=aviread('fun.avi');
Im=frame2im(mov(1,58));
figure,imshow(Im);
![]() |
Frame 58 |
Im=read(Vobj,58);
imshow(Im);
After playing the video, I thought
of modifying some frames. So I converted the frames from 58 to 64 into images
and added a smiley to the images by performing image arithmetic operations.
Then I converted those images into
frames and saved as a video file in ‘smiley.avi’.
Lmov=aviread('smiley.avi');
MIm=frame2im(Lmov(1,1));
figure,imshow(MIm);
![]() |
Modified Frame 58 |
%Preallocating the structure
array
frame=struct('cdata',1,'colormap',cell([1 91]));
I added the modified frames to
the original video.
%Modify the video in the
middle
frame(1,1:57)=mov(1,1:57);
frame(1,58:87)=Lmov(1,1:30);
frame(1,88:91)=mov(1,64:67);
implay(frame,5);
If we
are interested in playing only some of the frames in the original video then,
we can view those frames alone. Here I am interested in viewing the frames from
27 to 33.
%Part of the video
scz=figure;
set(scz, 'position', [300 100 size(Im,1)+130 size(Im,2)-100]);
FRange=[1 27:33];
%Here 1 is for the number of
times the video has to be repeated
%27:33 indicates the frames from
27 to 33.
movie(scz,mov,FRange,5);
We can also
save the desired frames into a file. An avifile object is created with the file
name ‘VidPart.avi’. Then the desired frames from 27 to 33 are added by using
the syntax ‘addframe’.
%To save the desired part
alone
obj=avifile('VidPart.avi','FPS',5);
obj=addframe(obj,mov(27:33));
obj=close(obj);

ok thanks....this article was very useful
but i hav one doubt....
what if i want to extract the images and save in a seprate folder on the hard disk ??
@RG Masand
Use 'imwrite' function to store the images separately in a folder.
Hi there, awesome site. I thought the topics you posted on were very interesting.

Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
im gettin this error wht t do?
Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
im grttin this error while running frame2im wht t do?
@Suhan Das
kindly check whether you are using 'frame2im' for one frame only or if you are using looping concept then check for the index range. If you are still getting the error, mail me with details.
Happy Reading!
