I have a vector<Mat> with images with different size.

Then I have a bigger image (let's say 640x480) I want to make a grid collage like this:

image description

With variable numbers of cols. How would you do that?

here's my idea:

void tile(const vector<Mat> &src, Mat &dst, int grid_x, int grid_y) {
    // patch size
    int width  = dst.cols/grid_x;
    int height = dst.rows/grid_y;
    // iterate through grid
    int k = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < grid_y; i++) {
        for(int j = 0; j < grid_x; j++) {
            Mat s = src[k++];
            resize(s,s,Size(width,height));
            s.copyTo(dst(Rect(j*width,i*height,width,height)));
        }
    }
}

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

    Mat img;

    namedWindow("image", WINDOW_NORMAL);
    int gridx=4, gridy=4;
    vector<Mat> vec;
    VideoCapture cap(0);
    for(;;)
    {
        cap >> img;
        vec.push_back(img);
        imshow("image", img); 
        char k = (char) waitKey(10);
        if ( vec.size() == gridx*gridy ) 
            break;
    }
    Mat res = Mat(480,640,CV_8UC3);
    tile(vec,res,gridx,gridy);
    imshow("image",res);
    waitKey(0);
    return 0;
}

Think, this: http://answers.opencv.org/question/13876/read-multiple-images-from-folder-and-concat/ with some slight modifications is exactly what you need. You only need to resize your images beforehand. Good luck!

If I resize the image in images I don't need to check max_height and max_width like you do in your loop... But nyway I don't understand your second loop. Why do you parse every pixels (y<rows and x<cols). Also the given number of cols should be used to calculate the width to resize the inner images

you are right, in your case you don't need to find out the proper dimensions but to resize them. The other two loops are not a parsing of pixels but going through the rows/cols of your grid and copying the image to the appropriate location.
