Simple Way to Scale Channels

1045 ●1 ●11 ●29 http://il.linkedin.com...

It seems that given a multichannel image, e.g. BGR, img I cannot do this:

img *= cv::Scalar(1.5,0.5,2.1)

I'd like to scale each channel by a different float factor. Is there a simple way to do this? I could use cv::transform() but that seems like overkill (I also obviously don't want to iterate on all the pixels).

Any suggestions?

you can use multiply:

Mat a(1,1,CV_8UC3,Scalar(20,40,60));
cerr << a << endl;
multiply(a, Scalar(1.2,0.5,.2), a);
cerr << a << endl;

[ 20,  40,  60]
[ 24,  20,  12]

(i can only guess, but since the * operator applied on Mat is a matrix multiplication, which does not make sense for a Scalar, there is no overload for *=)

@berak: Yeah, this seems to work. IIUC, this is essentially the same as using cv::transform(). It is matrix multiplication after a reshape.

For completeness, this also works: img = img.mul(Scalar(1.2,0.5,.2));
