python - frozen frames detection openCV python

Question

I'm trying to detect camera is capturing frozen frames or black frame. Suppose a camera is capturing video frames and suddenly same frame is capturing again and again. I spend long time to get any idea about this problem statement but i failed. So how we detect it or any idea/steps/procedure for this problem.

Answer 1

This was my approach to solve this issue.

Frozen frames: calculate absolute difference over HSV/RGB per every pixel in two consecutive frames np.arrays and determine max allowed diff that is valid for detecting frozen frames.

Black frames have naturally very low (or zero) V-value sum over the frame. Determine max V-sum of whole frame to determine, below which the frame is "black".
