Send raw pixels over the network and visualise them with generic software
Hi,
I am doing a project where I read frames from the camera of an Android device, render them on a plane in Unity and send them over the network (UDP) to a server with a C++ software. The C++ software reads the stream of bytes and saves each frame.
At the moment every captured frame is converted to a jpg array of bytes (e.g. tex.EncodeToJpg ()). I noticed that this operation on a mobile device takes long time and I measured a max of 12fps for frames of size 720x480x3. I would like to try to send the raw frames directly, without going through any conversion on the mobile, and do the conversion on the server.
So I would like to send the bytes obtained with tex.GetRawTextureData (). The only thing is that I don't know how to deal with the received data at the server side. How do I convert these bytes to something readable, e.g. a Jpg files, on the server? Let's say that on the server there are no Unity libraries.
Thank you in advance.
