This package allows you to analyze areas of motion within a sequence of images by highlighting these areas in a color-coded heatmap overlay. 6 | 7 | ## Features 8 | 9 | - Generate motion heatmaps from a sequence of images 10 | - Highlight areas of motion within the images using temporal intensity analysis 11 | - Customize the appearance of the heatmap, including color intensity and smoothing 12 | - Configurable grid resolution for motion detection 13 | - Deterministic output with optional random seed 14 | - Built on high-pass Butterworth filtering and Gaussian smoothing 15 | 16 | ## Installation 17 | 18 | ### From PyPI (when published) 19 | ```bash 20 | pip install MotionHeatmapGenerator 21 | ``` 22 | 23 | ### From Source 24 | ```bash 25 | git clone https://github.com/ylp1455/MotionHeatmapGenerator.git 26 | cd MotionHeatmapGenerator 27 | pip install -e . 28 | ``` 29 | 30 | ## Requirements 31 | 32 | - Python >= 3.6 33 | - opencv-python >= 4.0.0 34 | - numpy >= 1.19.0 35 | - scipy >= 1.5.0 36 | 37 | ## Usage 38 | 39 | ### Basic Example 40 | 41 | ```python 42 | from MotionHeatmapGenerator import MotionHeatmapGenerator 43 | 44 | # Initialize the generator with the desired number of divisions and a list of images 45 | generator = MotionHeatmapGenerator( 46 | num_vertical_divisions=4, 47 | num_horizontal_divisions=4, 48 | images=["frame001.jpg", "frame002.jpg", "frame003.jpg"] 49 | ) 50 | 51 | # Generate the motion heatmap 52 | generator.generate_motion_heatmap("output_heatmap.jpg") 53 | ``` 54 | 55 | This will generate a motion heatmap from the provided images and save it as `output_heatmap.jpg`. 56 | 57 | ### Advanced Usage 58 | 59 | ```python 60 | from MotionHeatmapGenerator import MotionHeatmapGenerator 61 | 62 | # More control over parameters 63 | generator = MotionHeatmapGenerator( 64 | num_vertical_divisions=8, # Higher resolution grid 65 | num_horizontal_divisions=8, 66 | images=image_paths, 67 | use_average_image_overlay=True, # Use averaged frame as background 68 | sigma=2.0, # More smoothing 69 | color_intensity_factor=5, # Subtle color overlay 70 | print_debug=True, # Show progress 71 | random_seed=42 # Reproducible results 72 | ) 73 | 74 | generator.generate_motion_heatmap("motion_heatmap.jpg") 75 | ``` 76 | 77 | ### Processing Video Files 78 | 79 | ```python 80 | import cv2 81 | import glob 82 | from MotionHeatmapGenerator import MotionHeatmapGenerator 83 | 84 | # Extract frames from video 85 | video = cv2.VideoCapture("input_video.mp4") 86 | frame_count = 0 87 | while True: 88 | ret, frame = video.read() 89 | if not ret: 90 | break 91 | cv2.imwrite(f"frames/frame_{frame_count:04d}.jpg", frame) 92 | frame_count += 1 93 | video.release() 94 | 95 | # Get all frame paths 96 | frame_paths = sorted(glob.glob("frames/*.jpg")) 97 | 98 | # Generate heatmap 99 | generator = MotionHeatmapGenerator( 100 | num_vertical_divisions=10, 101 | num_horizontal_divisions=10, 102 | images=frame_paths 103 | ) 104 | generator.generate_motion_heatmap("video_motion_heatmap.jpg") 105 | ``` 106 | 107 | ## Parameters 108 | 109 | | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | 110 | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| 111 | | `num_vertical_divisions` | int | *required* | Number of vertical blocks in heatmap grid | 112 | | `num_horizontal_divisions` | int | *required* | Number of horizontal blocks in heatmap grid | 113 | | `images` | list[str] | *required* | Ordered list of image file paths | 114 | | `use_average_image_overlay` | bool | `True` | If True, overlay on averaged frame; if False, use first frame | 115 | | `sigma` | float | `1.5` | Gaussian smoothing standard deviation | 116 | | `color_intensity_factor` | int | `7` | Multiplier for color overlay intensity | 117 | | `print_debug` | bool | `True` | Print progress messages during processing | 118 | | `random_seed` | int | `None` | Random seed for deterministic pixel sampling | 119 | 120 | ## How It Works 121 | 122 | The algorithm detects motion through temporal intensity variance analysis: 123 | 124 | 1. Divides the image into a grid of blocks 125 | 2. Samples pixel intensities across all frames for each block 126 | 3. Applies high-pass Butterworth filtering to remove slow trends (lighting changes, camera drift) 127 | 4. Computes standard deviation of filtered intensities as the motion metric 128 | 5. Applies Gaussian smoothing for visual appeal 129 | 6. Overlays color-coded heatmap (red = high motion, blue = low motion) 130 | 131 | ## Contributing 132 | 133 | Contributions are welcome!

repeated runs produce different results 194 | 195 | 3. **Frame processing loop:** 196 | ```python 197 | for frame in images: 198 | frame_data = cv2.imread(frame) 199 | for each block: 200 | sample pixel intensity (mean of BGR values) 201 | append to block_intensities[(row, col)] 202 | ``` 203 | 204 | 4. **High-pass filtering:** 205 | ```python 206 | b, a = scipy.signal.butter(5, 0.2, 'high') # 5th order, cutoff 0.2 207 | for each block: 208 | filtered = scipy.signal.filtfilt(b, a, intensities, padlen=0) 209 | ``` 210 | - **Purpose:** Remove low-frequency trends (camera motion, lighting changes) 211 | - **Issue:** `padlen=0` can cause errors with short sequences 212 | 213 | 5. **Motion metric computation:** 214 | ```python 215 | for each block: 216 | unfiltered_heatmap[row][col] = np.std(filtered_intensities) 217 | ``` 218 | - Standard deviation quantifies temporal variation 219 | 220 | 6. **Spatial smoothing:** 221 | ```python 222 | heatmap = scipy.ndimage.filters.gaussian_filter(unfiltered_heatmap, sigma=1.5) 223 | ``` 224 | - **Issue:** Uses deprecated API (should use `scipy.ndimage.gaussian_filter`) 225 | 226 | #### `generate_motion_heatmap(self, file_name='motion_heatmap.jpg')` 227 | **Purpose:** Creates and saves the color-overlaid heatmap image. 228 | 229 | **Returns:** Boolean (True if save successful) 230 | 231 | **Steps:** 232 | 1. **Select base image:** 233 | ```python 234 | output_image = self.average_image if use_average_image_overlay 235 | else cv2.imread(self.images[0]) 236 | ``` 237 | 238 | 2. **Compute mean heatmap value:** 239 | ```python 240 | mean_stdev = np.mean(self.heatmap) 241 | ``` 242 | 243 | 3. **Apply color overlay per block:** 244 | ```python 245 | for each block (vertical_index, horizontal_index): 246 | offset = color_intensity_factor * (heatmap[v][h] - mean_stdev) 247 | for each pixel in block: 248 | output_image[row][col][2] += offset # Red channel (BGR format) 249 | output_image[row][col][0] -= offset # Blue channel 250 | clamp to [0, 255] 251 | ``` 252 | - **Color scheme:** High motion → red tint, low motion → blue tint 253 | 254 | 4. **Write to disk:** 255 | ```python 256 | return cv2.imwrite(file_name, output_image) 257 | ``` 258 | 259 | #### `_clip_rgb(value)` (static) 260 | **Purpose:** Clamps color values to valid range [0, 255] 261 | 262 | ```python 263 | @staticmethod 264 | def _clip_rgb(value): 265 | return int(max(min(value, 255), 0)) 266 | ``` 267 | 268 | --- 269 | 270 | ## Algorithm Explanation 271 | 272 | ### Motion Detection Theory 273 | 274 | The algorithm detects motion through **temporal intensity variance analysis**: 275 | 276 | 1. **Assumption:** Static regions have stable pixel intensities over time 277 | 2. **Observation:** Moving objects cause intensity fluctuations at fixed spatial locations 278 | 3. **Metric:** Standard deviation of intensity time series measures motion magnitude 279 | 280 | ### Signal Processing Pipeline 281 | 282 | #### 1. Sampling Strategy 283 | - Divides image into grid of blocks 284 | - Samples one random pixel per block across all frames 285 | - **Rationale:** Reduces computation while capturing representative motion 286 | - **Weakness:** Single-pixel sampling is noisy and non-deterministic 287 | 288 | #### 2. High-Pass Filtering 289 | ```python 290 | # Butterworth filter design 291 | b, a = scipy.signal.butter(5, 0.2, 'high') 292 | filtered = scipy.signal.filtfilt(b, a, signal, padlen=0) 293 | ``` 294 | 295 | **Purpose:** 296 | - Removes low-frequency components (global lighting changes, slow camera drift) 297 | - Preserves high-frequency components (motion events) 298 | - Cutoff frequency 0.2 (normalized, where 1.0 = Nyquist frequency) 299 | 300 | **Filter characteristics:** 301 | - Type: Butterworth (maximally flat passband) 302 | - Order: 5 (steeper rolloff) 303 | - `filtfilt`: Zero-phase filtering (forward-backward pass) 304 | 305 | #### 3. Motion Metric: Standard Deviation 306 | ```python 307 | motion_intensity = np.std(filtered_signal) 308 | ``` 309 | 310 | **Interpretation:** 311 | - High std → large intensity fluctuations → motion present 312 | - Low std → stable intensity → static region 313 | - **Alternative metrics:** Variance, peak-to-peak, energy 314 | 315 | #### 4. Spatial Smoothing 316 | ```python 317 | heatmap = gaussian_filter(raw_heatmap, sigma=1.5) 318 | ``` 319 | 320 | **Purpose:** 321 | - Reduces block artifacts 322 | - Creates visually smooth transitions 323 | - sigma=1.5 controls smoothing radius (larger = more blur) 324 | 325 | #### 5. Color Mapping 326 | ```python 327 | offset = color_intensity_factor * (block_value - mean_value) 328 | red_channel += offset 329 | blue_channel -= offset 330 | ``` 331 | 332 | **Effect:** 333 | - Above-average motion → increases red, decreases blue → red tint 334 | - Below-average motion → decreases red, increases blue → blue tint 335 | - `color_intensity_factor` controls saturation intensity 336 | 337 | --- 338 | 339 | ## API Reference 340 | 341 | ### Class: `MotionHeatmapGenerator` 342 | 343 | #### Constructor 344 | 345 | ```python 346 | generator = MotionHeatmapGenerator( 347 | num_vertical_divisions=4, 348 | num_horizontal_divisions=4, 349 | images=["frame001.jpg", "frame002.jpg", ...], 350 | use_average_image_overlay=True, 351 | sigma=1.5, 352 | color_intensity_factor=7, 353 | print_debug=True 354 | ) 355 | ``` 356 | 357 | **Parameters:** 358 | 359 | | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | 360 | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| 361 | | `num_vertical_divisions` | int | *required* | Number of rows in heatmap grid | 362 | | `num_horizontal_divisions` | int | *required* | Number of columns in heatmap grid | 363 | | `images` | List[str] | *required* | Ordered list of image file paths | 364 | | `use_average_image_overlay` | bool | True | If True, overlay on averaged frame;

**Problem:** No checks for empty `images` list, non-existent files, or None from imread 554 | - **Impact:** Cryptic errors or crashes 555 | - **Example:** 556 | ```python 557 | # This will crash with unhelpful error 558 | generator = MotionHeatmapGenerator(4, 4, []) 559 | ``` 560 | 561 | 5. **Non-Deterministic Output** 562 | - **Problem:** `random.random()` used for pixel sampling without seed control 563 | - **Impact:** Cannot reproduce results 564 | - **Fix:** Add `random_seed` parameter: 565 | ```python 566 | if random_seed is not None: 567 | random.seed(random_seed) 568 | ``` 569 | 570 | 6. **Unsafe Array Indexing** 571 | - **Location:** Constructor, lines ~30-31 572 | - **Current:** `self.height = len(sample_image)` 573 | - **Problem:** Assumes `cv2.imread()` succeeded (may return None) 574 | - **Fix:** 575 | ```python 576 | sample_image = cv2.imread(self.images[0]) 577 | if sample_image is None: 578 | raise FileNotFoundError(f"Cannot read image: {self.images[0]}") 579 | self.height, self.width = sample_image.shape[:2] 580 | ``` 581 | 582 | 7. **Deprecated SciPy API** 583 | -

**Better approach:** Resize heatmap to image size and blend vectorized 613 | 614 | ### Low-Priority Issues 615 | 616 | 12. **Missing Docstrings** 617 | - No class or method documentation 618 | - No type hints 619 | 620 | 13. **Hardcoded Color Channels** 621 | - Only modifies red/blue channels 622 | - No option for different colormaps 623 | 624 | 14. **Duplicate README Content** 625 | - Same text repeated twice in README.md 626 | 627 | --- 628 | 629 | ## Limitations 630 | 631 | ### Design Limitations 632 | 633 | 1. **Single Pixel Sampling Per Block** 634 | - Only one randomly chosen pixel represents entire block 635 | - Noisy, non-robust to local artifacts 636 | - **Better:** Average all pixels in block or sample grid 637 | 638 | 2. **No Video File Support** 639 | - Requires pre-extracted frames 640 | - User must handle video decoding externally 641 | 642 | 3. **Fixed Colormap** 643 | - Hardcoded red/blue overlay 644 | - No support for standard colormaps (jet, viridis, etc.) 645 | 646 | 4. **Memory Inefficient** 647 | - Loads all frame data in memory for average image 648 | - Could use incremental averaging 649 | 650 | 5. **Limited Motion Metrics** 651 | - Only standard deviation supported 652 | - Could add: variance, peak-to-peak, frequency analysis 653 | 654 | ### Algorithmic Limitations 655 | 656 | 6. **High-Pass Filter Artifacts** 657 | - Butterworth filter may introduce ringing 658 | - Cutoff frequency (0.2) not tunable by user 659 | - May suppress genuine slow motion 660 | 661 | 7. **Blockiness** 662 | - If dimensions not divisible by division counts, blocks uneven 663 | - Gaussian smoothing helps but doesn't eliminate 664 | 665 | 8. **Intensity-Only Analysis** 666 | - Uses brightness only (mean of BGR) 667 | - Doesn't consider motion vectors, optical flow, or edge detection 668 | 669 | 9. **No Background Subtraction** 670 | - Cannot distinguish foreground motion from background 671 | - High-pass filter only removes very slow trends 672 | 673 | ### Practical Limitations 674 | 675 | 10. **No CLI** 676 | - Must use as library; no command-line tool 677 | 678 | 11. **No Configuration File Support** 679 | -

Current: Nested Python loops iterate every pixel 918 | - ~1000x slower than vectorized operations 919 | - **Solution:** Use cv2.resize + cv2.addWeighted 920 | 921 | 2. **Frame Reading** 922 | - Reads each frame multiple times from disk if not cached 923 | - **Solution:** Process streaming or use memory-mapped files 924 | 925 | 3. **Average Image Accumulation** 926 | - Stores full-resolution float array 927 | - Memory: ~12 MB for 1920×1080 image 928 | - **Solution:** Incremental averaging (update running mean) 929 | 930 | ### Scalability 931 | 932 | **Small video (480p, 100 frames, 8×8 grid):** 933 | - Processing time: ~5-10 seconds 934 | - Memory: ~50 MB 935 | 936 | **Medium video (1080p, 300 frames, 16×16 grid):** 937 | - Processing time: ~60-120 seconds (estimate) 938 | - Memory: ~200 MB 939 | 940 | **Large video (4K, 1000 frames, 32×32 grid):** 941 | - Processing time: 10+ minutes (estimate) 942 | - Memory: ~1 GB 943 | 944 | **Optimized version (vectorized overlay):** 945 | - Expected 50-100× speedup on overlay step 946 | - Overall ~10-20× faster 947 | 948 | --- 949 | 950 | ## Edge Cases 951 | 952 | ### Input Edge Cases 953 | 954 | 1. **Empty Image List** 955 | - `images=[]` 956 | - **Current:** Crashes (IndexError) 957 | - **Should:** Raise ValueError with clear message 958 | 959 | 2. **Single Frame** 960 | - `images=["frame.jpg"]` 961 | - **Current:** May crash in filtfilt (need 2+ points) 962 | - **Should:** Raise ValueError or return zero heatmap 963 | 964 | 3. **Two Frames** 965 | - `images=["f1.jpg", "f2.jpg"]` 966 | - **Current:** Insufficient for filtfilt 967 | - **Should:** Document minimum frame requirement (suggest 10+) 968 | 969 | 4. **Non-Existent Files** 970 | - `images=["missing.jpg"]` 971 | - **Current:** cv2.imread returns None → crash 972 | - **Should:** Raise FileNotFoundError 973 | 974 | 5. **Mismatched Dimensions** 975 | - Frames with different resolutions 976 | - **Current:** Crashes or corrupts output 977 | - **Should:** Validate and raise ValueError 978 | 979 | ### Parameter Edge Cases 980 | 981 | 6. **divisions = 0** 982 | - **Current:** Division by zero 983 | - **Should:** Raise ValueError 984 | 985 | 7. **divisions > image dimension** 986 | - E.g., 100×100 image, 200 divisions 987 | - **Current:** Invalid pixel sampling 988 | - **Should:** Raise ValueError or auto-limit 989 | 990 | 8. **sigma = 0** 991 | - No smoothing 992 | - **Current:** Works but produces blocky heatmap 993 | - **Should:** Document minimum recommended value 994 | 995 | 9. **color_intensity_factor = 0** 996 | - No color overlay 997 | - **Current:** Works (invisible heatmap) 998 | - **Should:** Document or warn 999 | 1000 | 10. **Negative Parameters** 1001 | - sigma < 0, divisions < 0, etc. 1002 | - **Current:** Undefined behavior 1003 | - **Should:** Validate and raise ValueError 1004 | 1005 | ### Algorithmic Edge Cases 1006 | 1007 | 11. **All Frames Identical** 1008 | - No motion 1009 | - **Expected:** Uniform low-intensity heatmap 1010 | - **Risk:** Std=0 everywhere, divisions by zero? 1011 | 1012 | 12. **Single Moving Pixel** 1013 | - Most pixels static, one pixel changes 1014 | - **Expected:** Small hotspot 1015 | - **Risk:** May be missed if not in sampled pixel set 1016 | 1017 | 13. **Camera Shake** 1018 | - Entire frame shifts slightly each frame 1019 | - **Current:** High-pass filter should help 1020 | - **Risk:** May still show false motion everywhere 1021 | 1022 | 14. **Lighting Changes** 1023 | - Gradual brightness change across sequence 1024 | - **Current:** High-pass filter should remove 1025 | - **Risk:** Sudden lighting changes may register as motion 1026 | 1027 | --- 1028 | 1029 | ## Additional Notes 1030 | 1031 | ### Why This Approach? 1032 | 1033 | **Advantages:** 1034 | - Simple and interpretable 1035 | - No training required (not ML-based) 1036 | - Fast per-frame processing (sampling reduces computation) 1037 | - Works with any image sequence 1038 | 1039 | **Disadvantages:** 1040 | - Less accurate than optical flow methods 1041 | - Cannot distinguish direction or velocity 1042 | - Sensitive to noise and lighting 1043 | - Single-pixel sampling is unreliable 1044 | 1045 | ### Alternative Approaches 1046 | 1047 | 1. **Optical Flow (e.g., Farneback, Lucas-Kanade)** 1048 | - More accurate motion vectors 1049 | - Can visualize direction and speed 1050 | - More computationally expensive 1051 | 1052 | 2. **Background Subtraction** 1053 | - Separates foreground motion from static background 1054 | - Good for surveillance applications 1055 | - Requires background model 1056 | 1057 | 3. **Frame Differencing** 1058 | - Simple: abs(frame[t] - frame[t-1]) 1059 | - Fast but noisy 1060 | - No temporal filtering 1061 | 1062 | 4. **Deep Learning (e.g., optical flow CNNs)** 1063 | - State-of-the-art accuracy 1064 | - Requires GPU and trained model 1065 | - Overkill for simple visualization 1066 | 1067 | ### Use Cases 1068 | 1069 | **Good for:** 1070 | - Quick visualization of motion patterns 1071 | - Surveillance footage analysis (where was activity?) 1072 | - Traffic flow studies (which lanes are busiest?) 1073 | - Sports analysis (player movement density) 1074 | - User testing (where do users look/interact?) 1075 | 1076 | **Not good for:** 1077 | - Precise motion tracking 1078 | - Real-time processing (too slow) 1079 | - Directional motion analysis 1080 | - Small/fast object detection 1081 | 1082 | --- 1083 | 1084 | ## Summary for AI Consumption 1085 | 1086 | **Key Takeaways:** 1087 | 1088 | 1. **Project Goal:** Visualize motion patterns in video by generating color heatmaps 1089 | 2. **Core Algorithm:** Sample pixel intensities → high-pass filter → compute std → smooth → overlay colors 1090 | 3. **Main Class:** `MotionHeatmapGenerator` (single class, procedural design) 1091 | 4. **Status:** Alpha stage, functional but has bugs and performance issues 1092 | 5. **Critical Bugs:** Import error in `__init__.py`, packaging mismatch, no input validation 1093 | 6. **Performance:** Slow due to nested Python loops; needs vectorization 1094 | 7. **Testing:** No working tests; needs comprehensive test suite 1095 | 8. **Dependencies:** OpenCV, NumPy, SciPy (uses deprecated API) 1096 | 9. **Improvements Needed:** Fix imports, validate inputs, vectorize overlay, add tests, update docs 1097 | 1098 | **If You Need to Modify This Project:** 1099 | 1.
