Output image after performing grabcut using openCV C++ sample code [closed]

edit

I am new to openCV, I am trying to implement Grabcut. I am using the Grabcut example code provided by openCV in samples (same as the one in OpenCV Github repo). Link Here.

However, if you run this code you will get the output in the same window as the input and the output image cannot be used in the program for post processing.

Consider the code snippet below.

void GCApplication::showImage() const
{
    if( image->empty() || winName->empty() )
        return;

    Mat res;
    Mat binMask;
    if( !isInitialized )
        image->copyTo( res );
    else
    {
        getBinMask( mask, binMask );
        image->copyTo( res, binMask );
    }

    vector<Point>::const_iterator it;
    for( it = bgdPxls.begin(); it != bgdPxls.end(); ++it )
        circle( res, *it, radius, BLUE, thickness );
    for( it = fgdPxls.begin(); it != fgdPxls.end(); ++it )
        circle( res, *it, radius, RED, thickness );
    for( it = prBgdPxls.begin(); it != prBgdPxls.end(); ++it )
        circle( res, *it, radius, LIGHTBLUE, thickness );
    for( it = prFgdPxls.begin(); it != prFgdPxls.end(); ++it )
        circle( res, *it, radius, PINK, thickness );

    if( rectState == IN_PROCESS || rectState == SET )
        rectangle( res, Point( rect.x, rect.y ), Point(rect.x + rect.width, rect.y + rect.height ), GREEN, 2);

    imshow( *winName, res );
}

How can this showImage() function can be modified so that it returns the final segmented image(after all iterations). Please suggest a method to do this (without using the imwrite() function).
