Convert IplImage to JPEG without using CvSaveImage in OpenCV

Question

I want to convert IplImage to a JPEG image in memory (to transfer it as an M-JPEG frame on top of sockets). I know that for this I can use CvSaveImage, which creates a jpeg file, I read it again and then transfer it over the network. I want to avoid unnecessary disk read operations for faster operation. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Check this question . I'm not sure how you can use the solution in C #, but maybe this can help.

Answer 2

, #, OpenCVSharp.

...

IplImage ipl = new IplImage("foo.png", LoadMode.Color);
Bitmap bitmap = ipl.ToBitmap();

, V++. NET

//IplImage -> Bitmap
void Fill_Bitmap(Bitmap* bitmap, IplImage* image){
    int nl= image->height;
    int nc= image->width * image->nChannels;
    int step= image->widthStep;
    unsigned char* data=reinterpret_cast<unsigned char*>(image->imageData);
    for(int i=0; i<nl; i++){
        for(int j=0; j<nc; j+= image->nChannels){
            bitmap->SetPixel(j/3,i,Color::FromArgb(data[j],data[j+1],data[j+2]));
        }
        data+= step;
    }

};

Assume that in your main function:

void main(){
    ...
    imRGB=cvCreateImage( cvSize(col,row), 8, 3 );
    Tbitmap=new Bitmap(col,row,PixelFormat::Format24bppRgb);
    ...
    Fill_Bitmap(Tbitmap,imRGB);
}
