Questions about d-bus for a specific application

[Stern Guillaume]

Dear d-bus team,

I am working on a research project at HEIG-VD (engineering school in Switzerland) and I would like to make two computers communicate. The general idea is the following:


  1.  Capture an image with a C++ application on the first computer (Windows-based)
  2.  Send the image to the second computer (Linux-based)
  3.  Process the image on the second computer with a Python program and determine a bounding box
  4.  Send the bounding box coordinates back to the first computer
  5.  Visualize the original image + bounding box on the first computer

If the process is working for one image, then the next step would be to have a video as input, processing the frames and determining the bounding boxes in real-time between the two computers.

I was told by one of my colleagues that d-bus could provide me a solution, so I read about it in the internet. However, I have a few questions:
-is d-bus suitable for real-time applications?
-more generally, do you think that d-bus would be adapted to my application?

Thank you very much for your answer!

Best regards,
Guillaume Stern
