Calculators communicate by sending and receiving packets. Typically a single
|
|
packet is sent along each input stream at each input timestamp. A packet can
|
|
contain any kind of data, such as a single frame of video or a single integer
|
|
detection count.
|
|
|
|
## Creating a packet
|
|
|
|
Packets are generally created with `mediapipe::MakePacket<T>()` or
|
|
`mediapipe::Adopt()` (from packet.h).
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
// Create a packet containing some new data.
|
|
Packet p = MakePacket<MyDataClass>("constructor_argument");
|
|
// Make a new packet with the same data and a different timestamp.
|
|
Packet p2 = p.At(Timestamp::PostStream());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
// Create some new data.
|
|
auto data = absl::make_unique<MyDataClass>("constructor_argument");
|
|
// Create a packet to own the data.
|
|
Packet p = Adopt(data.release()).At(Timestamp::PostStream());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Data within a packet is accessed with `Packet::Get<T>()`
