Creating a Video by Sequentially Reading Multiple Images

Resource Overview

A MATLAB program that builds a video by reading a sequence of images and enables playback functionality, suitable for image-to-video conversion tasks.

Detailed Documentation

In this project, I present an idea for developing a compact MATLAB program. This utility is designed to create a video by reading a series of images sequentially and includes playback capabilities. The program proves particularly valuable for users needing to combine multiple images into a cohesive video sequence.

Implementation involves using MATLAB's VideoWriter function to generate a video file, while reading images via imread in a loop. Users can specify parameters like frame rate, video format (e.g., MP4 or AVI), and compression settings. The core algorithm iterates through image files in a directory, writing each frame to the video object using writeVideo.

Expanding on customization, the program allows integration of audio tracks using audiowrite synchronization, frame rate adjustments for slow/fast motion effects, and resolution scaling via imresize. Key functions include dir for file handling, imread for image input, and vision.VideoPlayer for real-time preview during development.

With just a few lines of code, users can efficiently transform static images into dynamic video content. This tool enhances flexibility and creativity in multimedia processing, making it ideal for applications in data visualization, timelapse creation, or experimental video production.
