Opencv Mat Type C

The assignment operator and the copy constructor only copies the header.
Opencv mat type c. I am using an algorithm that requires a mat image saved as unsigned integers only and not as unsigned char uchar provided by mat rows cols cv 8u. Abs is a meta function that is expanded to one of absdiff or convertscaleabs forms. Cv 32fc1 if i know the integer value of the. Calculates an absolute value of each matrix element.
If you have an image cv mat img cv imread someimage xyz you just do int thetype img type. Template trait class for opencv primitive data types. Perfect forwarding is impossible to implement in c 03 and so makeptr is limited to constructors of t that have up to 10 arguments none of which are non const. Is there an easy way to print out the enum name e g.
So far i tried using cv 8u and the algorithm fails when reading the uchar values. You do not need to think about memory management with opencv s c interface. C mat vec uchar n abs a alpha beta is equivalent to convertscaleabs a c alpha beta the output matrix has the same size and the same type. C abs a is equivalent to absdiff a scalar all 0 c.
This type is very similar to inputarray except that it is used for input output and output function parameters. C abs a b is equivalent to absdiff a b c. It was originally inspired by code by yati sagade. However as you would expect calling img type just gives an integer an not an enum name e g.
In the c interface to opencv it seems easy enough to check the type of an image. The underlying matrix of an image may be copied using the cv mat clone and cv mat copyto functions. Another opencv idiom in this function a call of mat create for the destination array that allocates the destination array unless it already has the proper size and type. This is minimalist c sample code for porting c functions classes using opencv mat as arguments directly w o explicit conversions to python.
It is mainly intended to be used as boilerplate code for your own c libraries which use opencv and which you d like to call from python code or a.
