從 IP 攝像頭讀取 MJPEG

import cv2
import numpy as np
import urllib

stream=urllib.urlopen('http://96.10.1.168/mjpg/video.mjpg')
bytes=''
while True:
    bytes+=stream.read(1024)
    a = bytes.find('\xff\xd8') # JPEG start
    b = bytes.find('\xff\xd9') # JPEG end
    if a!=-1 and b!=-1:
        jpg = bytes[a:b+2] # actual image
        bytes= bytes[b+2:] # other informations

        # decode to colored image ( another option is cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE )
        img = cv2.imdecode(np.fromstring(jpg, dtype=np.uint8),cv2.IMREAD_COLOR) 
        cv2.imshow('Window name',img) # display image while receiving data
        if cv2.waitKey(1) ==27: # if user hit esc
            exit(0) # exit program

每個 JPEG 都以 0xff 0xd8 開頭，以 0xff 0xd9 結束。這些之間是實際形象。本 SO 答案中的詳細資訊
