Hi,

I am working on an augmented reality app in android,
In "onCameraFrame" i am trying to overlay a small Mat which is an image that was converted from bitmap, onto frame Mat that will be returned to camera preview, i am using submat to do it.
The problem is that the 2 Mat objects need to be the same type and i can not get the way to do it.

when i print the type of the small mat -

ImageMat.type()

i get 24.
when i print the frame Mat -

rgba.type()

i get 16.
How can i make the first one also 16 ?

can it be, you got the numbers switched ? (if rgba is, what it says, it should have type()==24)

24 == CV_8UC4, 16 == CV_8UC3.

so, to convert ImageMat to the format of rgba (misnomer?) you would use:

Mat dst = new Mat();
Imgproc.cvtColor( ImageMat, dst, Imgproc.COLOR_BGRA2BGR );

or, into the other direction:

Imgproc.cvtColor( rgba, dst, Imgproc.COLOR_BGR2BGRA );

also see docs, and remember, that opencv's Mat''s are in BGR order, while native android has it RGB(A)
