+ # Distant Frames
8
+
9
+ **Distant Frames** is a smart video frame extraction tool designed to capture distinct visual moments from video files. Instead of simply saving every Nth frame, it analyzes the visual similarity between consecutive potential frames and only saves those that are sufficiently different.
10
+
11
+ ## 🚀 Features
12
+
13
+ - **Smart Deduplication**: Avoids saving redundant frames where the scene hasn't changed.
14
+ - **Histogram Correlation**: Uses HSV color space histogram comparison for robust similarity detection.
15
+ - **Configurable Threshold**: Fine-tune the sensitivity of frame dropping to suit your specific video content.
16
+ - **Efficient Processing**: Seeks directly to target timestamps (`CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES`) for faster processing than frame-by-frame reading.
17
+ - **Custom Start Time**: Begin extraction from any point in the video using a timestamp in seconds.
18
+ - **Open Eyes Filter**: Optionally keep only frames where at least one face with both eyes open is detected, using local Haar cascade classifiers.

3
- ## Version 0.2.0 (Upcoming)
3
+ ## Version 0.3.1
4
+
5
+ ### Fix
6
+
7
+ - **Local entry point**: Added `main.py` at the repo root so users who clone the repository can run the tool directly with `uv run main.py` without installing the package.
8
+
9
+ ---
10
+
11
+ ## Version 0.3.0
12
+
13
+ ### New Features
14
+
15
+ - **Start timestamp** (`--start` / `-s`): Begin extraction from any point in the video by passing a timestamp in seconds. The video duration is validated upfront, and the startup log now shows duration and the effective start time.
16
+
17
+ - **Open-eyes filter** (`--open-eyes`): When enabled, only frames where at least one face with both eyes open is detected are saved. Detection uses a two-stage Haar cascade pipeline (face → eye ROI) and runs only on frames that have already passed the similarity check, so it adds no overhead on skipped frames.
18
+
19
+ - **Local Haar cascade classifiers**: Cascade XML files are now loaded from the project-local `haarcascade_classifiers/` directory (`haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml` and `haarcascade_eye.xml`) instead of the OpenCV bundle. No new dependencies are required.
20
+
21
+ ### Usage Examples
22
+
23
+ **Start from 90 seconds in:**
24
+ ```bash
25
+ distant-frames interview.mp4 -s 90
26
+ ```
27
+
28
+ **Only keep frames with open eyes:**
29
+ ```bash
30
+ distant-frames interview.mp4 --open-eyes -o key_frames
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ **Combine all options:**
34
+ ```bash
35
+ distant-frames interview.mp4 -s 90 -t 0.80 --open-eyes -o key_frames
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ ---
39
+
40
+ ## Version 0.2.1
41
+
42
+ ### Updated File Name
43
+
44
+ - **Concise Filenames**: Extracted frames now use a shortened 8-character UUID (e.g., `_frame_a1b2c3d4.jpg`) instead of the full 32-character UUID. This ensures uniqueness while keeping filenames cleaner and easier to manage.
