So for same operation opencv functions are preferred.
Opencv mat performance.
More ipython magic commands.
The image data from any camera can be.
Everyone that uses opencv is familiar with cv mat.
It can be used to store real or complex valued vectors and matrices grayscale or color images voxel volumes vector fields point clouds tensors histograms though very high dimensional histograms may be better stored in a sparsemat.
In this case the time elapsed is the computation loop is approx.
Did you test your code on different opencv version or different machine.
The mat is just a simple container for actual image data.
The class mat represents an n dimensional dense numerical single channel or multi channel array.
The umat class tells opencv functions to process images with an opencl specific code which uses an opencl enabled gpu if exists in the system automatically switching to cpu otherwise.
The 4 values rows cols type and data are all that is required to represent an image buffer of any format as an opencv mat.
Normally opencv functions are faster than numpy functions.
There are several other magic commands to measure performance profiling line profiling memory measurement and.
N dimensional dense array class.
With opencv 4 1 1 the time elapsed is the computation loop is approx.
Direct access to v4l2 memory.
But there can be exceptions especially when numpy works with views instead of copies.
Without opencv removing the two cv mat lines the opencv library is not linked.
Although some developers never heard about umat class and its advantages.
We ran this test program.
This feature was leveraged to make the camera image data accessible to opencv.
I didn t find such bug in opencv 3 2 when i run your code.
