what is OpenCV

OpenCV-Python is?a library of Python bindings designed to solve computer vision problems. ... OpenCV-Python makes use of Numpy, which is a highly optimized library for numerical operations with a MATLAB-style syntax. All the OpenCV array structures are converted to and from Numpy arrays.?????

Socket Programming in Python

Sockets are the endpoints of a bidirectional communications channel. Sockets may communicate within a process, between processes on the same machine, or between processes on different continents.

Sockets may be implemented over a number of different channel types: Unix domain sockets, TCP, UDP, and so on. The?socket?library provides specific classes?for handling the common transports as well as a generic interface for handling the rest.

import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM        

Here we made a socket instance and passed it two parameters. The first parameter is?AF_INET?and the second one is?SOCK_STREAM. AF_INET refers to the address-family ipv4. The SOCK_STREAM means connection-oriented TCP protocol.

1. What is a Network Socket?

A?socket?is one endpoint of a?two-way?communication link between two programs running on the network. The socket mechanism provides a means of inter-process communication (IPC) by establishing named contact points between which the communication takes place.
