It seems basically assigning by reference.
Opencv mat assignment.
The assignment operator and the copy constructor only copies the header.
Cv matx31f matrix 3x1 of float type checking the documentation i saw that most of matrix operations are available but still i don t see the advantages of using this new type instead of the old cv mat.
Suppose a has some values in it mat b a.
You do not need to think about memory management with opencvs c interface.
If i update b a is also affected.
In this post i would like to discuss what happens when cv mat is passed around.
Opencv matrix does not respect the const modifier.
So mat dims is always 2 can also be 0 when the array is empty.
Passing cv mat as argument.
It passes the number of dimensions 1 to the mat constructor but the created array will be 2 dimensional with the number of columns set to 1.
Opencv provides the split function to split the 3 channels rgb image into 3 mat objects one per channel.
The assignment operator and the copy constructor only copies the header.
The parameters are the mat object containing the source image and the vector of mat objects representing each rgb channel in reverse order where the first is blue then green and red.
I noticed that a new data structure cv matx was added to the new opencv version intended for small matrices of known size at compilation time for example.
Output image allocation for opencv functions is automatic unless specified otherwise.
Often times when we pass cv mat we forget one important thing.
The underlying matrix of an image may be copied using the clone and copyto functions.
The underlying matrix of an image may be copied using the cv mat clone and cv mat copyto functions.
Consider the following examples 1 where we want to change what the datastructure is note that we are trying to modify the header of the.
