The buffer location is broken down into several data frames and according to sequence for disposably receiving JPG image data From 1 number consecutively, receiving end receives after a complete width JPG image data property write-in image file again for number incremental sequence In, to improve read-write data;
Due to the limitation of wireless transmission bandwidth and software and hardware resources of microcontroller, compressed JPG image (320 × 240) is still It must so be recombinated when transmitting terminal is divided into several frames, reaches receiving terminal.Since transmitting terminal is there are the possibility of retransmission data frame, connect Receiving end is possible to receive out-of-order data frame, therefore transmitting terminal and receiving end determine a transmission of video buffer area, size 65536 (can be according to the image size appropriate adjustment to be transmitted) byte.Transmitting terminal first delays a width jpg image data one-time write Area is rushed, is broken down into several data frames, the sequence that each frame is incremented by according to serial number is from 1 number consecutively, so that the size of each frame No more than 2048 bytes, referred to as a data frame.Receiving end receives after a complete width JPG image data property write-in figure again As in file.Frame sign should be dynamically determined according to specific network, to reach optimal laser propagation effect.Experiments have shown that this Positioned every time than not opening buffer area merely with file pointer it is much better to read and write effect data, the reason is that reading and writing data from memory It is more faster than reading and writing data from hard disk.
