This process involves the extraction first from a video file and selecting the desired frame as the output. In this study we have provided two new approaches for the process and generated algorithm to ease the process. In the experimentation we found that both the approaches to read a video file using the video reader object in MATLAB which lead to the conclusion that the second approach performed much better in terms of time and space.
