I am in the process of making a web application that essentially takes in some web-stream from the client via their browser, and in real-time, sends it to a python server (Flask probably) that processes the frames in real-time and sends a response to the user. Now the backend has to be capable of handling web-streams from multiple clients simultaneously.
I am trying to grasp the framework for this entire application. What I have in mind is the following:
-
The user accesses the web-cam via their browser (e.g using webcamJS), the frames are sent from the frontend to the back-end through a web-socket. The task here is to establish a seemless handshake between the multiple clients and their processing requests.
-
There is a need for concurrency if the processing is to be done in real-time, multiple threads of the same image-processing-algorithm need to be executed. My take is that I make use of the multiple threads for this purpose or is there a better way of doing this? Is this even a feasible approach as the image-processing-algorithm (trained model) takes some time to load up , so it has to be always initialized at the backend and not start from scratch at every request.
-
The response from image-processing-algorithm need to get back to the frontend and the process goes on.
What I really need help is in drawing out the complete framework of this implementation. Any suggestions on the modules/frameworks to use with some implementations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
