OpenCV空二进制图像C ++

Question

I'm looking to create a binary image in OpenCV where all the values are initialised to 0. I want it to have dimensions 2000x800.

So far I have:

Mat canvas(2000, 800, 1)

But I want it so that the values of each pixel can only be a zero or a one.

Regards.

Answer 1

OpenCV does not support bitfields ie Mat's of depth 1 bit. There is sound reasoning in this; operating on bitfields is markedly slower because a bit is not an intrinsic operating type for the hardware. Getpixel and setpixel would therefore need extra operations.

Mat canvas = Mat::zeros(800,600,CV_8UC1);

Will create a zero-initialized image of depth 8 bits; 7 bits will be wasted.

Answer 2

From its documentation , you can declare:

Mat canvas(2000, 800, 1, Scalar(0));

to initiate and fill the canvas with 0.
