Speed up queryFrame/imencode

asked 2014-07-15 04:16:12 -0600

Hey guys,

i am writing a programm that takes a picture, encodes it to jpg and sends it over network. This should work as fast as possible. I examined my program and found out that queryFrame needs around 80ms (hd picture with 1280x720) and imencode around 50ms. Is there any way to speed up this functions ? I read about the Cuda possibility but i dont have a Nvidia graphic card.

i tried png as encoding alternative but that takes even longer than jpg

JPEG is the only way of encoding fast but it gets you quite a big loss in quality. As to speeding up, did you built openCV with TBB capability?

Capture frames in one thread and put them into a queue. From a second thread, pull from queue, encode and dispatch.
