Description

Hi guys,

Hope you are doing well !

I was giving a shot to OFX today, and was wondering if u ever considered to add Google's Flatbuffers (https://github.com/google/flatbuffers) or Apache Thrift (to communicate with Remote Servers, and NanoMsg (eg. surveyor pattern) in order to improve performances and bind in a distributed manner more client side ofx based sub-services (eg Tracking+Template Matching). The idea is to reduce the serialization time and avoid unnecessary buffers copies (eg. cv::Mat or images stream from the camera) on the mobile or device side. I think that would be awesome for iOS or Android ofx Apps.

Really impatient to read your input.

Cheers,
Luc Michalski
