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