Output image allocation for opencv functions is automatic unless specified otherwise.
Opencv mat assignment.
After you call a function a a is also affected right.
Opencv provides the split function to split the 3 channels rgb image into 3 mat objects one per channel.
Via a reference counting system opencv s mat matrix.
The assignment operator and the copy constructor only copies the header.
The parameters are the mat object containing the source image and the vector of mat objects representing each rgb channel in reverse order where the first is blue then green and red.
The assignment operator and the copy constructor only copies the header.
I m attempting to share an image that is only being used read only across threads.
Changing the header of cv mat.
Suppose a function void a function mat argument change argument.
It seems basically assigning by reference.
If i update b a is also affected.
It passes the number of dimensions 1 to the mat constructor but the created array will be 2 dimensional with the number of columns set to 1.
So mat dims is always 2 can also be 0 when the array is empty.
The underlying matrix of an image may be copied using the cv mat clone and cv mat copyto functions.
I noticed that a new data structure cv matx was added to the new opencv version intended for small matrices of known size at compilation time for example.
Consider the following examples 1 where we want to change what the datastructure is note that we are trying to modify the header of the.
Use a copy constructor or assignment operator where there can be an array or expression on the right side see below.
The underlying matrix of an image may be copied using the clone and copyto functions.
In this post i would like to discuss what happens when cv mat is passed around.
Suppose a has some values in it mat b a.
Typically i do this sort of thing with boost shared ptrs but since cv mat is already a reference counting cont.
Often times when we pass cv mat we forget one important thing.
You do not need to think about memory management with opencvs c interface.
Cv matx31f matrix 3x1 of float type checking the documentation i saw that most of matrix operations are available but still i don t see the advantages of using this new type instead of the old cv mat.
