Open Source Python Capture Software for ChromeOS

FreeMoCap is an open-source markerless motion capture system that enables users to record human movement using ordinary cameras and convert the footage into usable 3D motion data. The project’s goal is to democratize motion capture by removing the need for expensive suits or proprietary studio hardware, instead relying on computer vision and pose estimation pipelines. It processes synchronized video feeds to reconstruct skeletal motion, which can then be exported for animation, biomechanics research, or creative projects. FreeMoCap includes tools for calibration, recording, processing, and visualization, allowing users to move from raw footage to structured motion data within a single ecosystem. Because it is open and extensible, researchers and developers can adapt the pipeline for specialized motion analysis or integrate it into animation workflows.

Automatically geocode pictures from your camera and a GPS track log. Following Google code closure the only official webpage is (doc, support, code) : https://github.com/notfrancois/GPicSync

libiptcdata is a standalone C-library for reading and writing the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata contained in various data files such as images.

MMPython is a Media Meta Data retrieval framework. It retrieves metadata from mp3, ogg, avi, jpg, tiff and other file formats. Among others it thereby parses ID3v2, ID3v1, EXIF, IPTC and Vorbis data into an object oriented struture.

BLIX is a cross-platform set of Python extension modules and Python scripts for Blender (www.blender.org). These scripts add camera calibration, 3D reconstruction and rigid body orientation to Blender.

Browsershots is a system for capturing screenshots of Web pages in many different browsers. When a user submits a web address on the central web interface, the screenshots are made automatically on distributed computers that are run by volunteers.

With this program you can rename JPG photos, taken with a digital camera, in the format yyyymmdd_count where the date is the shooting date registered in the metadata information of the photo. Photos are sorted according to the shooting time.

PennAve is a dynamic photo gallery software written in Python and designed for use alongside F-Spot. It makes heavy use of XML and XSLT for ease of presentation modification and sharing of information with other users, web sites, and programs.

Webcam viewer/capture program similar to the Photobooth program in Mac OS X. Written in python using GStreamer with EffectTV plugins, you can view your webcam and take pictures filtered through your choice of effects.

Snappy is a fast, easy to use, cross platform screenshot/screencast application currently being written in Python. It will integrate with many services, allowing the user to quickly upload to YouTube/ImageShack/FTP/etc.

GTKShots is a python/gtk program to grab multiple screenshots periodically, configuring intervals, quality and other options. It could be useful to create presentations, slides or to monitor desktop activity, too.

A simple GUI frontend for scanning documents into PDF format. Utilizes scanimage, ps2pdf, pnmflip, and pnmtops commands. Automatically detects scanners avaliable on system. Developed on Linux but might work on other platforms with some tweaking.
