I recently recorded a decent chunk of data by recording the mass of a digital scale by videoing it by hand on my phone. The mass is changing over time, and I am needing to look at the relationship there. The equipment I have was relatively limited, which is why I was not able to connect this scale directly to a data logger.
I would very much prefer not to have to manually go through every second of every video to log the data as it would be a very repetitive process.
Thus, I was hoping computer vision would be a good alternative but I have no idea how to go about it. Would anyone happen to know a program or tool I could use or create that can just read these numbers from the video and then record them with their timestamps, possibly as a .csv file?
I'd be willing to learn about computer vision or AI to do so myself as well, as I am interested in this area, but simply don't have experience in it, so any advice or tools would be greatly appreciated.
