Opencv Mat Image Format

Opencv mat image format. Note format of the file is determined by its extension. To convert from cv mat to qimage you could try to use the qimage uchar data int width int height format format constructor as follows mat is a cv mat. When you try to display an image using matplotlib after reading it using imread in opencv the result looks funny. Highgui imwrite folder name timestamp png.
Opencv seems to have been built with the principle of maximum surprise in mind. Be aware that this only works for two dimensional matrices. These devices record numerical values of the image ex. The use of encoding is slightly more complicated in this case.
And it all begins with the default bgr pixel format. 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. It represents an n. Cv 8uc4 8 bit unsigned 4 channels cv 8uc3 8 bit unsigned 3 channels and cv 8uc1 8 bit unsigned 1 channel grayscale.
Opencv is a library which processes the digital images therefore we need to store these images for processing. The ros image message must always have the same number of channels and pixel depth as the cv mat however the special commonly used image formats above bgr8 rgb8 etc will insert. In this case i am interested in three opencv image formats. It does not play well with libraries that use the standard rgb pixel format.
The mat class of opencv library is used to store the values of an image. In order to get pixel intensity value you have to know the type of an image and the number of channels. However for debugging purposes it s much more convenient to see the actual values. Basic operations with images accessing pixel intensity values.
When i run my code in an emulator the resultant mat image is not saving in gallery. It does as before refer to the cv mat however cv2 to imgmsg does not do any conversions for you use cvtcolor and convertscale instead. The code for saving images is below string folder environment getexternalstoragedirectory getpath gallery. You can do this using the operator of mat.
It is more efficient than manually converting the pixels to the qimage but you have to keep the original cv mat image in memory. Use cv imdecode and cv imencode to read and write an image from to memory rather than a file.
