I'm encoding my image from a opencv "Mat" to a "vector" buffer in order to send it over a socket.
int rows = 4096;
int cols = 4096;
vector<uchar> buffer;
Mat imageFrame(rows, cols, CV_8UC1, dataPointer );
/* dataPointer --> Pointer containing image pixel data */
imencode(".bmp", imageFrame, buffer);
The "imencode" function takes time in orders of 20-40 ms.
{ Just for the information purpose, the imageFrame Mat is generated in order of 10ms. }
My System Specs are :
Processor : Intel Core i7-6700TE @2.4 GHz (8-CPUs)
RAM : 16GB (DDR4)
Operating System : Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Bus Speed : 100 MHz
Please tell me how to speed that up.
Furthermore, Is there any other encoding scheme, besides "BitMap", which can be done faster ?
