OpenCV Screen Capture

This project demonstrates screen capturing using OpenCV with the MSS library for efficient screen capture.

Setup

1. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Or install them individually:

pip install opencv-python numpy mss pillow

Usage

Run the main script:

python src/main.py

The application will:

• Capture your primary screen in real-time
• Display the captured frames in a window
• Press 'q' to quit the application

Features

• Real-time screen capture using MSS (which is more efficient than traditional approaches)
• OpenCV for frame processing and display
• Configurable capture regions (modify in code)

Notes

• MSS (Multiple Screen Shots) is used for efficient screen capture
• On macOS, you may need to grant screen recording permissions to your terminal application
• The capture runs at full speed - you can add time.sleep() to control frame rate if needed
