N dimensional dense array class.
Create cv mat c.
Complex floating point matrix etc.
In the load modify and save an image tutorial you have already learned how to write a matrix to an image file by using the cv imwrite function.
Be aware that this only works for two dimensional matrices.
If the format depth or channel order is different use mat convertto and cv cvtcolor to convert it before saving.
Just like with inputarray opencv users should not care about outputarray they just pass mat vector t etc.
Cv 8uc1 means 8 bit single channel matrix cv 32fc2 means 2 channel i e.
This type is very similar to inputarray except that it is used for input output and output function parameters.
There are many different ways to create cv mat object.
Mat l 3 arr cv 8uc 1 scalar all 0.
Here are the some popular ones.
Do not explicitly create outputarray instances applies here too.
The first character of the name can be followed by an infinite number of alpha numerical characters including characters like or.
If you want to make your function polymorphic i e.
The class mat represents an n dimensional dense numerical single channel or multi channel array.
A new matrix of the specified size and specifed type will be allocated.
However for debugging purposes it s much more convenient to see the actual values.
It can be used to store real or complex valued vectors and matrices grayscale or color images voxel volumes vector fields point clouds tensors histograms though very high dimensional histograms may be better stored in a sparsemat.
We can create a matrix with more than two dimensions.
If it is not empty and has the correct size and type the method does nothing.
Using cv mat create nrows ncols type method or the similar constructor cv mat mat nrows ncols type fill value constructor.
Or use the universal filestorage i o functions to save the image to xml or yaml format.
The parameters which you add to the cv mat must have a name which fits to the following rules.
To the contrary with c api where an output image had to be created by the developer an empty output mat can be supplied to each function.
This method allocates data for a matrix if it is empty.
Creating a mat object explicitly.
The same limitation as for inputarray.
The name starts with a lower or upper case character hence a value between a z or a z.
We can use array to initialize the constructor.
Possible parameter names for matrix cv mat.
Each implementation calls mat create for a destination matrix.
You can do this using the operator of mat.
