This week I set up my repositories and starting writing some basic code.
# Set up
Before starting any coding, I wanted to set up my remote git repositories. I had already decided I wanted the project mirrored over two remote git repositories from different providers as a safety precaution. My intial plan was to use the university's GitLab instance but as it's recently been moved behind the firewall it would have made mirroring quite difficult. Instead, I decided to use my personal [Gitea instance](https://git.oscar.blue) and mirror it to my personal account on the official [GitLab instance](https://gitlab.com/oscarpocock).
[Gitea](https://git.oscar.blue/noble/mmp-osp1) → [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/oscarpocock/mmp-osp1)
Gitea will periodically push to GitLab.
# Code
Towards the end of the week I put together some simple code to reduce the frame set. I used the OpenCV Python module to export the frames of a given video to an `output/` folder. The path of this folder is also stored in the `outputfolder` variable we see used on line 7.
Although this code is a first step at reducing the frames set - it doesn't give us much feedback about the frames that have been deleted or kept.
```python {linenos=table, linenostart=1}
def display_file_sizes():
"""Calculates the average frame filesize and deletes the frames lower
than the average
"""
# create an array storing the filesize of each frame
filesizes = []
for filename in os.listdir(outputfolder):
filepath = outputfolder + "/" + filename
filesize = os.path.getsize(filepath)
print(filepath + ": " + str(filesize))
filesizes.append(filesize)
# work out average
average = sum(filesizes)/len(filesizes)
print ("Average is: " + str(average))
# delete files below average
count = 0
for filename in os.listdir(outputfolder):
filepath = outputfolder + "/" + filename
if filesizes[count] < average:
# print(filepath + ": " + str(filesizes[count]))
os.remove(filepath)
count += 1
```
I didn't end up doing as much as I would have liked this week. I found myself preoccupied in other areas of my life and not putting enough emphasis on this project.
# 1:1 Weekly meeting
- As I didn't do as much as I would like to have done there wasn't much to discuss on my part
- I needed to produce more code to have some basic functionality.
- Discussed my concerns with a machine learning approach
