anyone translated the image to opencv's cv::Mat ?

[EMCP]

This is still in progress as well, but looking how to translate the SL::Screen_Capture::Image to cv::Mat .. purpose is so a client on the other side of the socket can read the bytes and display the frame

void transmitsocketdata(tcp::socket & socket, const SL::Screen_Capture::Image & img){

  cv::Mat frame = NULL;  // <---this line needs to be filled in

  std::vector<std::uint8_t> buff;
  std::vector<int> param(2);
  cv::imencode(".jpg", frame, buff, param);

  // now we send the header message
  std::string image_dimensions = "6016Wx3384H";
  std::string image_buff_bytes = std::to_string(buff.size());
  std::string message_header = image_dimensions + "," +  image_buff_bytes;
  std::cout << "sending message header of " << std::to_string(message_header.length()) << " bytes...." << std::endl;
  message_header.append(63 - message_header.length(), ' ');
  message_header = message_header + '\0';

  std::cout << "sending message header of " << std::to_string(message_header.length()) << " bytes...." << std::endl;
  socket.write_some(boost::asio::buffer(message_header), ignored_error);
  std::cout << "sending image message of " << image_buff_bytes << " bytes...." << std::endl;
  socket.write_some(boost::asio::buffer(buff), ignored_error);
}

Im sort of guessing it will be a sort of unisigned char array, using the dimensions sort of option.. but if anyone has already done this would appreciate to understand how to and share this example once finished

I guess I am honing in on this example code now.. where we sort of extract the data for PNG creation.. ideally I'd like to make it a JPG within a buffer but.. a bit concerned I need to first

void ExtractAndConvertToIntVect(const SL::Screen_Capture::Image &img, std::vector<std::uint8_t> *dst, size_t dst_size)
{
    assert(dst_size >= static_cast<size_t>(SL::Screen_Capture::Width(img) * SL::Screen_Capture::Height(img) * sizeof(SL::Screen_Capture::ImageBGRA)));
    auto imgsrc = StartSrc(img);

    std::cout << "image was contiguous, dst_size = " << std::to_string(dst_size) << std::endl;
    for (auto h = 0; h < Height(img); h++) {
      auto startimgsrc = imgsrc;
      for (auto w = 0; w < Width(img); w++) {
          dst->push_back(imgsrc->R);
          dst->push_back(imgsrc->G);
          dst->push_back(imgsrc->B);
          imgsrc++;
      }
      imgsrc = SL::Screen_Capture::GotoNextRow(img, startimgsrc);
    }
    std::cout << "copied... " << std::to_string(dst_size) << std::endl;  
}
