Hi

I have tapped into my Ring doorbell and can download the short mp4 videos when somebody knocks the door. However I would like to work out the best face pic in that short video and save a jpeg image of the face. Is there a component/library/service/api I can call (programatiically) that will do this? It would be ideal if the component was open source too

Many thanks in advance

ffmpeg on Linux is your best bet. Deciding which frame is best is something better suited to the tensorflow program and a Google Coral co-processor.
