Good day everyone! So currently I'm working on a project with video processing, so I decided to give a try to OpenCV. As I'm new to it, I decided to find few sample codes and test them out. First one, is C OpenCV and looks like this:
#include <opencv/cv.h>
#include <opencv/highgui.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void ) {
CvCapture* capture = 0;
IplImage *frame = 0;
if (!(capture = cvCaptureFromCAM(0)))
printf("Cannot initialize camera\n");
cvNamedWindow("Capture", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
while (1) {
frame = cvQueryFrame(capture);
if (!frame)
break;
IplImage *temp = cvCreateImage(cvSize(frame->width/2, frame->height/2), frame->depth, frame->nChannels); // A new Image half size
cvResize(frame, temp, CV_INTER_CUBIC); // Resize
cvSaveImage("test.jpg", temp, 0); // Save this image
cvShowImage("Capture", frame); // Display the frame
cvReleaseImage(&temp);
if (cvWaitKey(5000) == 27) // Escape key and wait, 5 sec per capture
break;
}
cvReleaseImage(&frame);
cvReleaseCapture(&capture);
return 0;
}
So, this one works perfectly well and stores image to hard drive nicely. But problems begin with next sample, which uses C++ OpenCV:
#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp"
#include <string>
using namespace cv;
int main(int, char**)
{
VideoCapture cap(0); // open the default camera
if(!cap.isOpened()) // check if we succeeded
return -1;
Mat edges;
//namedWindow("edges",1);
for(;;)
{
Mat frame;
cap >> frame; // get a new frame from camera
cvtColor(frame, edges, CV_RGB2XYZ);
imshow("edges", edges);
//imshow("edges2", frame);
//imwrite("test1.jpg", frame);
if(waitKey(1000) >= 0) break;
}
// the camera will be deinitialized automatically in VideoCapture destructor
return 0;
}
So, yeah, generally, in terms of showing video (image frames) there is practically no changes, but when it comes to using im* * functions, some problems arise.
Using cvSaveImage() works out nicely, but the moment I try to use imwrite() , unhandled exception arises in regards of 'access violation reading location'. Same goes for imread() , when I'm trying to load image.
So, the thing I wanted to ask, is it possible to use most of the functionality with C OpenCV? Or is it necessary to use C++ OpenCV. If yes, is there any solution for the problem I described earlier.
Also as stated here , images initially are in BGR-format, so conversion needed. But doing BGR2XYZ conversion seems to invert colors, while RGB2XYZ preserve them. Examples:
Or is it necessary to use C++ OpenCV?
No, there is no necessity whatsoever. You can use any interface you like and you think you are good with it (OpenCV offers C, C++, Python interfaces).
For your problem about imwrite()
and imread()
:
For color images the order channel is normally Blue, Green, Red , this is what imshow() , imread() and imwrite() expect
