How to turn a video into numpy array?

I have a python script in the same folder as a video I want to convert to a numpy array. My video is called 'test.mp4'.

Within my script, I want to call someFunction('test.mp4') and get back a numpy array. The resulting numpy array should be a numpy array of images, where each image is a 3-d numpy array.

Does that make sense?

Thanks!

Why do we convert image to NumPy array?

Converting an image to an array is an important task to train a machine learning model based on the features of an image. We mainly use the NumPy library in Python to work with arrays so we can also use it to convert images to an array. Other than NumPy, we can also use the Keras library in Python for the same task.
