Hi - I have 4 images (separation) which each one represent a color (cyan , magenta , black and yellow), i need to blend them together into a single colored (RGB) image.

what is the best way to accomplish that. Thanks a lot. Itay.

I don't know the best way, but maybe this source will be helpful for you https://code.ros.org/trac/opencv/changeset/564/trunk/opencv/src/highgui/utils.cpp if you will not find the better decision

@tenta4, good hint! will still need some work to adapt to cv::Mat

you're the hero of the day, if you can do it ! ;)

You can call mat.data attribute to get uchar* from cv::Mat

here you go:

void cmyk2rgb(const Mat & c,const Mat & m,const Mat & y,const Mat & k, Mat & rgb ) {
    rgb = Mat(c.size(), CV_8UC3);
    for ( size_t j=0;j<c.rows; j++ ) {
        for ( size_t i=0;i<c.rows; i++ ) {
            Vec3b & v = rgb.at<Vec3b>(i,j);
            uchar K = k.at<uchar>(i,j);
            v[2] = saturate_cast<uchar>(K - ((255 - c.at<uchar>(i,j))*K>>8));
            v[1] = saturate_cast<uchar>(K - ((255 - m.at<uchar>(i,j))*K>>8));
            v[0] = saturate_cast<uchar>(K - ((255 - y.at<uchar>(i,j))*K>>8));
        }
    }
}

Lets put it into the color conversion module? :) Guess this is usefull for others also.

But to make it more cleare I suggest to merge the cmyk channels into a single mat and output it as 1 element.

it's just a port from highgui/utils.cpp

also it does not fit the usual cvtColor signature

Hmm okay :) Maybe an idea to do later. Added to the small TODO list sticking at the wall.

merging them is very expensive, and the original poster already had single images.

but, yea, let's see..
