Hi, I have a question, regarding conversion of C (unsigned char *) buffer to a two dimensional numpy array
this is what i am doing: 1) I get a C network buffer of unsigned char * let's call it the source buffer the size of the source buffer is: W * H * 2 bytes 2) I am using PyByteArray_FromStringAndSize() to convert the source buffer (a C unsigned char *) to python bytes array. a = PyByteArray_FromStringAndSize(source buffer, W * H * 2) 3) i am using numpy.frombuffer to convert the python bytes array to a 1 dimensional numpy array of size W *H *2 bytes b = numpy.frombuffer(a, dtype = np.uint8) 4) i am creating a 2 dimensional numpy array from (3) when each element in that array is made of 2 bytes from the python bytes array c = b.view(np.uint16).reshape((H, W)) Is there a way to optimize this some how ? Can you suggest a faster and better solution ? Thanks,
