How could I transfer Mat data from Windows Application to Android application?

edit

it's much simpler to use imdecode on the client side

I have implemented with 'imencode' and 'imdecode' functions, but the result is an image which I can't open it...

This is my code for the client application (Android - OpenCV): MatOfByte buf = new MatOfByte(); Highgui.imencode(".jpg", matCameraBitmap, buf);

byte[] bufferByte; bufferByte = buf.toArray(); BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream())); out.write(bufferByte.toString()); out.flush();

And this is my code for the server application (Windows - OpenCV): if((bytecount = recv(new_sock, buffer, dim_imagine, 0)) == SOCKET_ERROR) { fprintf(stderr, "Error receiving data %d\n", WSAGetLastError()); return 0; }

std::vector<char> data(buffer, buffer + bytecount); Mat matrixJprg = imdecode(Mat(data), 1); cv::imwrite("aaa.jpg", matrixJprg);

1. your packets will get fragmentated, so you can't read it all in one go, but have to read like 8k blocks until you reach the total number of bytes

2. i got no idea about andoid api, but out.write(bufferByte.toString()); looks suspect. strings are null terminated, this might truncate it on the sender size

3. Wireshark is my weapon of choice to debug it

Thanks for your help, problem solved!
