Imagiz

Fast and none blocking live video streaming over network with OpenCV and (ZMQ or TCP).

Install

pip3 install imagiz

ZMQ Client

import imagiz
import cv2


client=imagiz.Client("cc1",server_ip="localhost")
vid=cv2.VideoCapture(0)
encode_param = [int(cv2.IMWRITE_JPEG_QUALITY), 90]

while True:
    r,frame=vid.read()
    if r:
        r, image = cv2.imencode('.jpg', frame, encode_param)
        client.send(image)
    else:
        break

ZMQ Server

import imagiz
import cv2

server=imagiz.Server()
while True:
    message=server.recive()
    frame=cv2.imdecode(message.image,1)
    cv2.imshow("",frame)
    cv2.waitKey(1)

TCP Client

import imagiz
import cv2

vid=cv2.VideoCapture(0)
client=imagiz.TCP_Client(server_port=9990,client_name="cc1")
encode_param = [int(cv2.IMWRITE_JPEG_QUALITY), 90]


while True:
    r,frame=vid.read()
    if r:
        r,image=cv2.imencode('.jpg',frame, encode_param)
        response=client.send(image)
        print(response)

TCP Server

import imagiz
import cv2

server=imagiz.TCP_Server(9990)
server.start()
while True:
    message=server.receive()
    frame=cv2.imdecode(mmessage.image,1)
    cv2.imshow("",frame)
    cv2.waitKey(1)
