I have a collection of MP4 thermal videos recorded with a FLIR camera. In every frame the camera overlays a “MAX” value in the top-left corner; that number is the highest temperature detected for that frame. Your task is to read only that “MAX” field value, sample it once per second throughout each video (they run anywhere from 2 minutes to about 90 minutes), and export the results to an Excel-compatible CSV file. The file must contain exactly two columns: - Time (in seconds, starting at 0) - Temperature (integer values only, no decimals). Please ignore any other overlay fields such as SPOT, MIN, or AVG. I need a repeatable, accurate solution I can run on future videos, so a small Python/OpenCV script or similar utility is preferred, but I’m open to alternatives if they achieve the same reliability. Deliverables • Script or executable that processes one or multiple MP4 files and produces a CSV for each. • Sample output from one of my test videos to confirm formatting. • Brief usage notes so I can rerun the process on new recordings. Acceptance criteria 1. For every full second of video, the CSV shows one row with the corresponding MAX temperature as an integer. 2. No skipped seconds and no duplicate rows. 3. Temperatures match the on-screen overlay when spot-checked by frame. If anything is unclear, let me know, I can provide a short sample clip for testing.

Hi there, I’ve read your FLIR MAX overlay extraction task and I’m confident I can deliver a reliable, repeatable Python/OpenCV solution that produces a clean CSV per video. I’ve worked on video processing and data extraction pipelines, and I’ll focus on reading the exact MAX value as rendered on-screen, sampling once per second, and exporting integer temps to a two-column CSV: Time (s) and Temperature (°C). How I’ll solve it: - A lightweight Python script using OpenCV to decode frames, OCR or pixel parsing to读取 the MAX overlay, and a per-second sampler aligned to video timestamps. - Robust parsing to ignore SPOT/MIN/AVG, with validation against a few frames to ensure the overlay value matches on-screen. - Output a separate CSV per video, with precise time coverage from 0 to duration in seconds, no gaps or duplicates. - Clear usage notes and a small test sample CSV from a provided clip to verify formatting. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical details (codec compatibility, frame rate, and whether the overlay is rendered as always-on text vs. bitmap), I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. Key questions I’d propose: 1) What is the typical frame rate and resolution of your FLIR MP4s, and do they vary across files? 2) Do you need the script to auto-detect the MAX value even if there’s subtle on-screen flicker or anti-aliasing? 3) Should the CSV use a standard comma delimiter with a header, or a strict two-colu

Hey, I will build a Python script using OpenCV and Tesseract OCR that extracts the MAX temperature overlay from your FLIR MP4s — sampling one frame per second, reading only the top-left region, and exporting a clean two-column CSV (Time, Temperature) as integers. I will crop tightly to the MAX label area before running OCR — this eliminates misreads from SPOT, MIN, or AVG fields and dramatically improves accuracy on thermal video overlays where contrast is inconsistent. Questions: 1) What is the typical resolution of these FLIR recordings? 2) Is the MAX overlay always white text, or does the color shift with the palette? Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

Hi, extracting precise thermal data from FLIR video streams requires parsing the embedded radiometric metadata (often stored in the TIFF or SEQ headers) rather than just processing pixels. I understand you need a streamlined pipeline to map these raw sensor values to accurate Celsius/Fahrenheit outputs. I have handled similar computer vision and data extraction tasks, including my work on YOLO-based electrical panel labeling and various CNN-based pattern recognition systems. For this, I would utilize `flirimageextractor` or `exiftool` to strip the radiometric metadata directly from the frames, ensuring you get the exact pixel-level temperature values rather than approximated color-mapped data. I’ve successfully deployed Python-based solutions for complex image processing and model conversions previously. Are you working with raw SEQ/FMT files or already converted video containers?

Timeline: 2–3 days | Cost: $120 Hello, I fully understand your needs and can deliver a reliable Python-based solution that extracts the “MAX” temperature from your FLIR MP4 videos, samples it once per second, and exports clean, Excel-compatible CSV files. Based on my past experience, the most importance is accurately isolating and reading the “MAX” overlay via OCR under varying video conditions (font, contrast, compression artifacts), while ensuring precise per-second frame sampling without skips or duplicates. I will proceed with the project in the following manner: ✔ Extract exact frames at 1-second intervals using OpenCV with timestamp-based seeking (ensures no missed/duplicate seconds) ✔ Crop the top-left ROI and apply image preprocessing + OCR (e.g., Tesseract) optimized specifically for the “MAX” field for high accuracy ✔ Validate and clean outputs (integer-only values, consistency checks) and generate CSV per video with correct formatting Before the starting, could you provide a short sample video (or two), confirm the resolution/format consistency across files, and let me know if the “MAX” label position is fixed in all recordings? Looking forward to discussing more in detail on chat! ✅ Best Regards
