Tutorial 3 - Create a Image OpenCV C++

Today I'm going to show you how to create image using OpenCv.





Let's display an image using OpenCv in visual studio. Our previous tutorial was Load and Display Image.


Let’s start creating an image.
First open visual studio and create a new project.

The following examples will guide you in creating the image


Example 1

#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main(int argc, const char**argv) {
    

     Mat img(500, 1000, CV_8UC1, Scalar(70));
     Mat img1(500, 1000, CV_8UC3, Scalar(10, 100, 150));
     Mat img2(500, 1000, CV_8UC4, Scalar(100, 10, 100, 180));
    

     if (img1.empty()) {
           cout << "load erro" << endl;
           return -1;
     }
     namedWindow("1_channel", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
     namedWindow("3_channel", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
     namedWindow("4_channel", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
     imshow("1_channel", img);
     imshow("3_channel", img1);
     imshow("4_channel", img2);


     waitKey(0);
     return 0;
}



Explanation




Image size: you may select any height and width as your preference
Image Channels & depth:  you may choose image channels and depth as per your requirements from the followings

 For single channel images
   CV_8U (8 bit unsigned integer)               :  0 ~255
   CV_8S (8 bit signed integer)                    :  -128 ~127 
   CV_16U (16 bit unsigned integer)           : 0 ~65535
   CV_16S (16 bit signed integer)                : -32768~32767
   CV_32S (32 bit signed integer)                :  -2147483648~2147483647
   CV_32F (32 bit floating point number)    :  -1.18*10-38~3.40*10-38  
   CV_64F (64 bit float floating point number):
                                                                                                  
For multi-channel images
CV_8UC2 (2 channel array with 8 bit unsigned integers)
CV_8UC3 (3 channel array with 8 bit unsigned integers)
CV_8UC4 (4 channel array with 8 bit unsigned integers)
CV_8UC(n) (n channel array with 8 bit unsigned integers (n is in between 1 to 512) )

Example 2

#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main(int argc, const char**argv) {
     int a,b,c;
     char x;
    
     cout << "Type s to create single channel image or Type m to create Multi channel image " << endl;
     cout << ":";
     cin >> x;

     if (x == 's') {
           cout << "type Single channel pixel value (between 0-255)" << endl;
          cin >> a;
           Mat img(500, 1000, CV_8UC1, Scalar(a));
           namedWindow("1_channel", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
           imshow("1_channel", img);

     }
     else if (x == 'm') {
           cout << "type Multi channel pixel value (between 0-255)" << endl;
           cout << "Blue:";
           cin >> a;
           cout << "Green:";
           cin >> b;
           cout << "Red:";
           cin >> c;

           Mat img1(500, 1000, CV_8UC3, Scalar(a, b, c));
           namedWindow("3_channel", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
           imshow("3_channel", img1);

     }

     else {
           cout << "Enter s or m"  <<endl;
     }

    
     waitKey(0);
     return 0;
}

You can test the code by giving different pixel values. Some of outputs are as follow.

Output 1





Output 2
