Passing video feed from Javascript to OpenCV in Python

I am trying to create a web application that takes detects faces in a live video feed. I have written the webcam feed code with Javascript as I would like to later host the application.
Code for getting the feed with Javascript
var video = document.querySelector("#videoElement");
if (navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia) {
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: true}).then(function(stream) {
video.srcObject = stream;
}).catch(function(err0r) {
console.log("Something went wrong!");
});
}
And my Python code for opening the camera and detecting faces is as follows
import cv2
cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('./haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
cam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
ret, frame = cam.read()
frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
if ret:
gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
faces = cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, scaleFactor=1.3, minNeighbors=3)
for (x, y, w, h) in faces:
cropped = cv2.resize(frame[y:y+h, x:x+w], (198,198))
cv2.rectangle(frame, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (255, 0, 0), 2)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
cv2.imshow('Stream', frame)
My question is instead of opening the webcam in Python can I somehow pass the feed from Javascript to Python. I guess I will have to change this line to include the code from Javascript
cam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance

You can just use OpenCV.js [https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/dd/d00/tutorial_js_video_display.html] for this. The syntax is not really that different.
If you do want to use Python you will need to send an AJAX request for the video feed. Stream it someplace and use it as a source for your <video>.

I want to use python for the face detection stuff as I plan on adding more functionality to the application that will be easier to code in python. Can the second option be done live and if yes, is there any tutorial you can direct me to?

Okay so I am going to assume you want a processed video feed. Why not just use Django or Flask for this? You can useVideoWriterto write the processed file and then simply use<video>to play it. You won't have to go through the middleman JS+Python malarkey. EDIT : You can check this out : stackoverflow.com/questions/49530857/…

Hi firstly sorry for the late reply. I checked the link that you had sent. But I guess the person is not working with live video. What should I do to work on the feed from a webcam? Is is possible to do that on live video?

Hey! Thanks for the link. I guess doing that will solve the problem. The only other question I have is, can the same be done with django? Cause I have already started implementing this with django and it will be a bummer to start again in flask.
