If you want to make your function polymorphic i e.
Create cv mat c.
Using cv mat create nrows ncols type method or the similar constructor cv mat mat nrows ncols type fill value constructor.
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.
Int arr 3 4 3 2.
The name starts with a lower or upper case character hence a value between a z or a z.
If it is not empty and has the correct size and type the method does nothing.
Creating a mat object explicitly.
The same limitation as for inputarray.
However for debugging purposes it s much more convenient to see the actual values.
The sample below shows how to create a bgra image how to set custom compression parameters and save it to a png file.
The first character of the name can be followed by an infinite number of alpha numerical characters including characters like or.
Just like with inputarray opencv users should not care about outputarray they just pass mat vector t etc.
This method allocates data for a matrix if it is empty.
Here are the some popular ones.
N dimensional dense array class.
We can use array to initialize the constructor.
Mat l 3 arr cv 8uc 1 scalar all 0.
A new matrix of the specified size and specifed type will be allocated.
Type has the same meaning as in cvcreatemat function e g.
We can create a matrix with more than two dimensions.
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.
There are many different ways to create cv mat object.
The parameters which you add to the cv mat must have a name which fits to the following rules.
This type is very similar to inputarray except that it is used for input output and output function parameters.
Each implementation calls mat create for a destination matrix.
Do not explicitly create outputarray instances applies here too.
Cv 8uc1 means 8 bit single channel matrix cv 32fc2 means 2 channel i e.
Or use the universal filestorage i o functions to save the image to xml or yaml format.
Complex floating point matrix etc.
If the format depth or channel order is different use mat convertto and cv cvtcolor to convert it before saving.
The class mat represents an n dimensional dense numerical single channel or multi channel array.
Possible parameter names for matrix cv mat.
