Integration

Integrating remotecv into your app is as easy as opening a TCP socket using ZeroMQ.

ZeroMQ usage is beyond the scope of this docs, but below you can see a python program using pyzmq that works with remotecv.

ctx = zmq.Context()
socket = ctx.socket(zmq.REQ)
socket.connect('tcp://127.0.0.1:13337')

socket.send(bson.dumps({
        'type': 'face',
        'size': (300, 200),
        'mode': 'RGB',
        'image': open('some-image.jpg').read()
    })
)

data = socket.recv()
features = bson.loads(data[0])['points'])
if features:
    for (left, top, width, height) in features:
        print left
        print top
        print width
        print height

remotecv uses BSON (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bson) for object serialization. Since we send the images bytes, JSON was not a viable option.
