""" Compress numpy arrays into RTAB-Map's ``cv::Mat`` wire format. RTAB-Map stores and transmits matrices -- images, laser scans, descriptors -- as a zlib payload followed by a 12-byte trailer recording the shape and the element type. Database blobs and the compressed fields of ``rtabmap_msgs`` messages both use it. The layout is:: [ zlib stream of the elements in C order ][ rows ][ cols ][ type ] int32 int32 int32 The three trailer fields are written with ``struct`` format ``'iii'`` -- native byte order and size, matching the C++ side's raw ``int`` writes. That makes the encoding **host-endian**, so a blob does not travel between machines of opposite endianness. ``type`` is the OpenCV depth of the elements: 0 ``CV_8U``, 1 ``CV_8S``, 2 ``CV_16U``, 3 ``CV_16S``, 4 ``CV_32S``, 5 ``CV_32F``, 6 ``CV_64F``. These two functions are the Python side of that format. They match ``compressData()`` and ``uncompressData()`` in RTAB-Map's ``corelib/src/Compression.cpp`` byte for byte, so a matrix written by either side can be read by the other. Single-channel matrices only. The C++ encoder packs the channel count into the type code alongside the depth; the tables here cover the single-channel depths ``CV_8U`` through ``CV_64F``, which is what the codes 0 to 6 mean.
