Hello I am beginner in OpenCv C++... I want to set custom region of interest for processing.... like my camera is fixed in one place and i want to capture the image of some specific area... it can be of triangle shape... what i want is the rest of image shld be black except tht triangular ROI....
I searched a lot and i found for rectangular region only... :( Thanks
if you can make a mask-image of that "special roi", it's all easy.
many opencv image ops take binary masks (to reduce the processed pixels),
you can even use them directly, i.e :
Mat mask_out = gray_image & mask
would leave only the pixels from gray_image in mask_out, where mask was non-null
Thanks for reply... I already have sample code for mask also.. but it seems that mask is also of rectangular shape... I want different shape like parallelogram or other thing....
A mask isn't always rectangular, it can be of any shape, since you can manually define the pixel value of each element of the mask, being 0 or 1. This approach works with about every binary mask you can imagine.
The interest of ROI is to speed-up computation, therefore, a triangular ROI seems problematic. But, if you are only interested to have a part of your image, you could create a ROI bounding to your triangular area, and add a mask, of the ROI size, that specify the pixels to keep. After, just copy the ROIed image with the mask as third parameter, you will get the triangular ROI-like. But again, the interest has to be specific (hide parts of the image, prevent from annoying moving background,...) but not speed-up has you involve an extra copy of data.

please mention, how you get your triangle roi (or, whatever shape it is)
