How to perform changes in both sub-image and original image ?

edit

Although your example is not complete I think the problem is that you use m1 instead of m2 in the line

Mat image_roi = m1(roi);

OpenCv does not reallocate matrices for efficiency reasons, only when it has to. As m1 is not initialized in your code snippet it needs to be allocated independently of m2. If you use the following code

Mat image_roi = m2(roi);

then image_roi would use the same memory area as m2 but with a different matrix header so modifications of the roi would alter the original image.

See the Mat tutorial for details.

Thanks, it worked for me

Mat m1=image;
Rect roi(r.x,r.y, r.width,r.height);
Mat image_roi(m1,roi);
imshow("image",image_roi);

Hi jawahar, your intesion was clear but problem in you code. That is you need to declare the matrix(mat) object coordinates then your will get expected output, here you missed out the mat object coordinates

Thank you, its gov...
