#OpenCV – Replace background with video in camera feed 🎦 (Black Adam ⚡)

Hi !

A new twist on these days demos, based on a request from an online friend. Let’s remove and replace the background from our camera feed using a video. For this demo, I’m using the “Black Adam – Official Trailer 1“. And the output is kind of funny.

OpenCV Cam with VideoFile 01

Hey, funny scenario, and if you don’t want to deal with OBS, this maybe a nice to trick to have!

And the sample code:

# Copyright (c) 2022
# Author : Bruno Capuano
# Create Time : 2022 June
# Change Log :
# – Open a local camera feed using OpenCV
# – Open a video file feed using OpenCV
# – Show the original camera feed, the video frame, and the background removed feed using the video feed

import cv2
from cvzone.SelfiSegmentationModule import SelfiSegmentation
segmentor = SelfiSegmentation()
# read image
imgBg = cv2.imread('bg01.jpg')
imgBg = cv2.resize(imgBg, (320, 240))
# open camera
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
capVideo = cv2.VideoCapture("BlackAdamOfficialTrailer.mp4")
while True:
# read image
ret, img = cap.read()
# read video frame
ret, videoFrame = capVideo.read()
if not ret:
break
# resize frames to 320 x 240
img = cv2.resize(img, (320, 240))
videoFrame = cv2.resize(videoFrame, (320, 240))
imgBgVideo = segmentor.removeBG(img, videoFrame , threshold=0.50)
# show both images
cv2.imshow('office',img)
cv2.imshow('Black Adam',videoFrame)
cv2.imshow('office with Black Adam',imgBgVideo)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
# close camera
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Happy coding!
