Threading and the performance of real-time video processing

In this section, we will get multithreading technology involved in our application. This is for the following two purposes:

  • To avoid the main thread (the GUI thread) being frozen
  • To avoid a potential performance decrease in video processing

First, as we mentioned previously, running a slow task in the GUI thread will freeze the UI during the running period of the task. Capturing a video from a camera and processing it is an ongoing process; it's endless and will freeze the GUI forever until we close the camera. Therefore, we must separate the main thread and the video capturing thread.

On the other hand, the work of video processing, especially video processing in real time, is ...
