Capture one resolution from camera but display another
How can I get one resolution feed from camera in OpenCV (640x320) but cut it into half and display only one half of the frame (320x240). So not to scale down, but to actually crop. Should I use IplImage or Mat? I am quite new to OpenCV and a bit confused :)
I am using this quite standard code to get 640x480 input resolution and I made some changes to crop resolution to 320x480. Is it good or should I use Mat instead of IplImage?

int main()
{
cvNamedWindow("Camera_Output", 1); //Create window
CvCapture* capture = cvCaptureFromCAM(1); //Capture using camera 1 connected to system
cvSetCaptureProperty( capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 640 );
cvSetCaptureProperty( capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 480 );
while(1){ //Create loop for live streaming
IplImage* framein = cvQueryFrame(capture); //Create image frames from capture
/* sets the Region of Interest - rectangle area has to be __INSIDE__ the image */
cvSetImageROI(framein, cvRect(0, 0, 320, 240));
/* create destination image - cvGetSize will return the width and the height of ROI */
IplImage *frameout = cvCreateImage(cvGetSize(framein), framein->depth, framein->nChannels);
/* copy subimage */
cvCopy(framein, frameout, NULL);
/* always reset the Region of Interest */
cvResetImageROI(framein);
cvShowImage("Camera_Output", frameout); //Show image frames on created window
key = cvWaitKey(10); //Capture Keyboard stroke
if (char(key) == 27){
break; //ESC key loop will break.
}
}
cvReleaseCapture(&capture); //Release capture.
cvDestroyWindow("Camera_Output"); //Destroy Window
return 0;
