cv2 ndarray convert to list then backward to ndarray cannot display correctly

I need to transmit my video stream via JSON format, so I try to convert ndarray which read from cv2 to list first, and then backward to ndarray again to read it. Here is my code in python.



video = cv2.VideoCapture(video_file)
while(video.isOpened()):
success, frame = video.read()
data = frame.tolist()
image = np.asarray(data)
cv2.imshow('frame', image)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
video.release()


However, I just got a image with all black, not the original video screen. Why and how to correct it? Thank you.

    Try image = np.asarray(data, dtype=np.uint8), my guess is you're converting from uint8 to int64 and imshow is interpreting the data differently.

    Sure, frame.tolist() is converting from np.uint8 to the default python int type. When you convert back, numpy is interpreting that as an int64 unless explicitly told not to.

  • No point in this transition --- frame is already a numpy array. Casting it to a list and then back to an array doesn't do anything.
