If you're willing to run some separate out of process python programs to support this then the easiest approach might be to just serve the images up over HTTP using Python's built in HTTP server.

I suppose since this is Vision you'd want to bind that HTTP server to 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost so it was reachable by all the clients. Otherwise every Vision PC needs to run all the python programs and access the images locally.
