The matrix header containing information such as the size of the matrix the method used for storing at which address is the matrix stored and so on and a pointer to the matrix containing the pixel values taking any dimensionality depending on the method chosen for storing.
Mat class opencv.
According to opencv 2 4 xxx.
Mat is basically a class with two data parts.
The class represents an n dimensional dense numerical array that can act as a matrix image optical flow map 3 focal tensor etc it is very similar to cvmat and cvmatnd types from earlier versions of opencv and similarly to those types the matrix can be multi channel.
It s not missing an external lib just a file of yours.
It also fully supports roi mechanism.
Also note the extra parentheses that are needed to avoid compiler errors.
It is also compatible with the majority of dense array types from the standard toolkits and sdks such as numpy ndarray win32 independent device bitmaps and others that is with any array that uses steps or strides to compute the position of a pixel.
So the data layout in mat is fully compatible with cvmat iplimage and cvmatnd types from opencv 1 x.
It does not have any extra data fields.
Make sure you add that file to your project so the code gets compiled and linked too.
Once matrix is created it will be automatically managed by using reference counting mechanism.
The class mat represents an n dimensional dense numerical single channel or multi channel array.
The class mat tp is a thin template wrapper on top of the mat class.
It is also compatible with the majority of dense array types from the standard toolkits and sdks such as numpy ndarray win32 independent device bitmaps and others that is with any array that uses steps or strides to compute the position of a pixel.
The class mat represents an n dimensional dense numerical single channel or multi channel array.
So the data layout in mat is fully compatible with cvmat iplimage and cvmatnd types from opencv 1 x.
In opencv the image class is cv mat which has a delicate memory management scheme.
It can be used to store real or complex valued vectors and matrices grayscale or color images voxel volumes vector fields point clouds tensors histograms though very high dimensional histograms may be better stored in a sparsemat.
Suppose i already have my own image class selfimage.
Memory management is essential for an image class.
It can be used to store real or complex valued vectors and matrices grayscale or color images voxel volumes vector fields point clouds tensors histograms though very high dimensional histograms may be better stored in a sparsemat.
If above is classifier h there must be a classifier cpp too containing the code for your functions.
Thus references or pointers to these two classes can be freely but carefully converted one to another.
At the beginning i will put all the image pixel contents to this class.
