description: Suite of tools for wrapping the cv2 python module

long_description: |
OpenCV is a library of programming functions mainly for real-time computer vision. OpenCV is the world's biggest and open source vision library
with more the 2500 algorithms for tasks such as object detection, facial recognition, and image stitching,
The Python interface cv2 allows accessing the functionalities provided by the OpenCV library.

This tool suite provides wrappers for the cv2 Python package enabling processing of image and video in Galaxy using OpenCV.

**Extract a range of frames as TIFFs from MP4 and AVI files.**

Frames captured within a specified time interval (in seconds) will be extracted from the video file as individual TIFF images.
Optionally, the extracted frames can be converted to grayscale.

**Codecs Support:**
The tool was tested with H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) video codecs.
The tool may support other codecs, though this has not been tested yet.
If you have successfully converted files using alternative video formats or codecs, we would be grateful for your feedback at https://github.com/BMCV/galaxy-image-analysis.
