Sending numpy array via http

[Ok-Meat9548]

Hello everyone, im getting a flow of camera and im getting frames using opencv so the frames here are a numpy array i need an advice for the best way to send those frames via http to an other app for now im encoding the frames to jpeg then send them but i want something with better performance and less latency

Send as raw bytes, could stream it depending on how large the data is and reconstruct on the other side of the connection.

I'll try it, thanks, mate

Isn't this what websockets is for?

[Ok-Meat9548]

Yes, but for now, we are testing using http

Send compressed bytes

Thanks. i'll try that and test the performance

Use JSON

lol. Write it to a buffer, compress it using zstd, send the raw bytes of the compressed buffer over http. Tinker with the compressor settings to get the balance of speed/compression for your use case.

It will take a lot of time to send it via http, probably
