Hi everyone, I want to dislay threshold image to window using imshow function, it worked if I dont use findcontour function (by commenting) Mat imgInContour, imgThresholded; findContours(imgThresholded, contours, hierarchy, CV_RETR_LIST, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE, cvPoint(0, 0));

After using findContours, a binary image with edge (due to findContours processed) not Threshold Image as my desired, so findContours function changed the imgThresholded variable. Please help me to find a way to show the thresholded image separate with the contours. Thank in advance!

findContours() destroys the image, so you either need to show it before applying findContours(),

or pass a copy :

findContours(imgThresholded.clone(), contours, hierarchy, CV_RETR_LIST, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE);

Dear berak, Before using findContours, I copy the imgThresholded to another one, used that as an input of findContours and after findContours process, I show the image by the imgThresholded but it seems affected by findCountours process before, can you help to explain ? Thank you!

how do you copy that ? Mat a = b; only does a "shallow" copy.

Yep, a = b; so I take b to process, and keep a as an original version. Just want to imShow a in windows, because findContours change the input image.

again, "shallow" copy means, that only the Mat header (width,height, etc) gets copied, but the 2 Mat''s share the data pointer (the pixels).

you need Mat a = b.clone(); to achieve a "deep" copy.

Thank you so much!
