Python OpenCV Image to byte string for json transfer

code :

import cv2

import base64

import json

import numpy as np

######################################################

#read image

img = cv2.imread('./code_backup/test_img.jpg')

#cv2 to string

image_string = cv2.imencode('.jpg', img)[1]

image_string = base64.b64encode(image_string).decode()

#make string image dict

dict = {'img':image_string}

#save dict to json file

with open('./code_backup/cv2string.json', 'w') as fp:

json.dump(dict, fp, indent=5)

#read json

response = json.loads(open('./code_backup/cv2string.json', 'r').read())

#get image string

string = response['img']

#convert string to image
