assign a double matrix to CvMat opencv

Question

It is look trivial. I tried this

double d[2];

CvMat* cvdata;

cvdata->data.db = d;

when I using debugging mood it seems that only the first element assigned to cvdata.

any suggestions? and what about 2-Dimensional array?

thank you

Answer 1

I think you need to set these first:

matrix size, matrix type

Example in C++:

double d[2];
cv::Mat* cvdata = new cv::Mat(1, 2, CV_64F);

Answer 2

You should not use a pointer to Mat, you can do it the following way:

int rows = ..;
int cols = ..;
cv::Mat cvdata(rows, cols, cv::DataType<double>::type);

when you copy cvdata or pass it as argument only a copy of the cv::Mat's header is created the internal data i copied. Opencv manages the pointers automatically.
