Is there a performance hit to processing video in Java?
To be clear, jipCam doesn’t process or manipulate video images, it provides a mechanism to easily connect to an IP camera, and parse raw byte data, or process images within the Java Media Framework. With the right design, Java may be just as fast as C or C++, but many other projects (including the Java Media Framework) choose to manipulate images in native libraries using JNI. jipCam allows developers to work cleanly with JNI for image processing, just as JMF does.
