Opencv Mat Channels

The class mat represents an n dimensional dense numerical single channel or multi channel array.
Opencv mat channels. Hi i am newbie to using opencv with c. I used opencv to split the channels but while merging the same after setting the blue channel to 0 my code doesn t compile. I wanted to look at only the r g channels in an rgb image because i get better contrasts to detect an object when the blue channel is removed. 2013 07 26 02 54 18 0500 seen.

N dimensional dense array class. I have a code where i read tif images and count the number of channels and number of layers in the tif image. There are several image types with different channel sets exact meaning and content of a channel depends on this image type. Opencv open source computer vision is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real time computer vision this blog provides complete guide for learning image processing with opencv with all the source codes contains opencv code for image processing deep learning artificial intelligence deep learning etc.
Opencv can handle lots of image types the documentation of the cvtcolor function defines the conversion rules among some of them. I have used mat channels to calculate the number of channels in the image and if the channels are more than 1 then i have used cv split to split the image into corresponsing channel images. Is there any method to load the image with the complete 4 channels including the alpha channel even if i had to modify the opencv source code and rebuild it.
