'How to pass a video return from JavaScript to python backend in Django view for OpenCV
I want to do certain tasks and the processes are as follows: 1. Access the camera of the user to get the video-frames from them. 2. Process the video frames from the backend code for facial recognition and some more tasks. 3. Return the processed frame back to the user.
Initially, I had used cv2.VideoCapture(0)
and it was simply triggering the camera of the system which was hosting the server, i.e. my personal laptop. So, I used JavaScript to trigger the camera of the user's system. The HTML and JS code is as follows:
<div id="container">
<video autoplay="true" id="videoElement">
</video>
</div>
<script>
var video = document.querySelector("#videoElement");
if (navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia) {
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true })
.then(function (stream) {
video.srcObject = stream;
})
.catch(function (err0r) {
console.log("Something went wrong!");
});
}
</script>
Now I want to get the video feed from the user and link it to the backend to process the video frames.
My views.py :
class VideoCamera():
def __init__(self):
self.video = cv.VideoCapture(0)
success, frame = self.video.read()
...
