Video Mosaic Script

Overview

This Python script, videomosaic.py, merges multiple video streams into a single visual mosaic. It utilizes OpenCV to read video files, resize frames, and merge them into a unified display.

Functionality

1. Video Input: The script accepts input from multiple video files specified in the video_paths list.
2. Video Capture: It opens video streams using OpenCV's VideoCapture function for each specified video file.
3. Error Handling: The script checks if the video captures are opened correctly and prints an error message if not.
4. Frame Resizing: It resizes each frame to a standard size defined by resize_width and resize_height.
5. Mosaic Creation: The resized frames are then merged into a mosaic layout using numpy's stacking functions.
6. Display: The resulting mosaic is displayed in a window titled "Result" using OpenCV's imshow function.
7. User Interaction: The script waits for the user to press the 'q' key to exit the display window.
8. Resource Cleanup: Finally, it releases the resources by closing all video captures and destroying the display window.

Usage

To use the script, simply specify the paths to your video files in the video_paths list and run the script using Python. Ensure you have the necessary libraries installed, including numpy and OpenCV.

Grid and Fullscreen Display

• Videos are displayed in a resizable grid.
• Clicking on a video opens it in VLC.
