In fact there are 4 kinds of methods to get set a pixel value in a cv mat object as described in the opencv tutorial.
Cv mat set to zero.
To access multiple channel matrices you can use cv mat elem matrix.
If the format depth or channel order is different use mat convertto and cv cvtcolor to convert.
Based on the tutorial s experiment it also lists performance differences in all the 4 methods.
Element i j i 0 based row index j 0 based column index of a matrix can be retrieved or modified using cv mat elem macro.
As already properly pointed out by william you should provide only the correct type as a template argument for at i believe that cv mat itself is not made template only for simplification.
Fully transparent pixels should have alpha set to 0 fully opaque pixels should have alpha set to 255 65535 see the code sample below.
In this kind of thresholding the destination pixel value is set to the corresponding source pixel value if the source pixel value is greater than the threshold.
1 3 the subtraction operation similar to adding two mat objects to each other you can also subtract all elements of one image from another using the subtract function or the operator.
It passes the number of dimensions 1 to the mat constructor but the created array will be 2 dimensional with the number of columns set to 1.
Thresholding rule threshold to zero if src x y thresh dst x y src x y else dst x y 0 python.
It s the most convenient but also time consuming.
Use a copy constructor or assignment operator where there can be an array or expression on the right side see below.
It means that you can zero the matrix like this i couldn t find equivalent overloads for matx or sparsemat.
Matrix elements are stored row by row.
The one régis mentioned is called on the fly ra in opencv tutorial.
So mat dims is always 2 can also be 0 when the array is empty.
Obviously providing a beta value of 1 0 would have made this example exactly the same as a regular add function with no transparency for the overlay text.
Uchar pixval cv mat elem grayimg uchar i j cv mat elem cameramatrix float 0 2 image width 0 5f.
However opencv crew are trying to support c features including templates.
To set all the matrix elements to the particular value after the construction use the assignment operator mat operator const scalar value.
Inline void zero cv mat m m 0.
