#1Uploading RTSP Frames to GpuMat
Transfer CPU NumPy buffers to CUDA device memory:
CUDA GpuMat Frame Processing
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("rtsp://rtsplink.com/live/test?token=demo")
gpu_frame = cv2.cuda_GpuMat()
while cap.isOpened():
ret, frame = cap.read()
if not ret:
break
gpu_frame.upload(frame)
gpu_gray = cv2.cuda.cvtColor(gpu_frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
gpu_resized = cv2.cuda.resize(gpu_gray, (640, 360))
result = gpu_resized.download()
cv2.imshow("CUDA Stream", result)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
