Hi All,

I am using OpenCV 2.4.6.1 on OSX 10.8.4 using the Java API with IntelliJ. I am developing a very simple application that works on a 640x480 24bpp Mat object which is an image read in from disk.

I have code to draw rectangles and lines, but despite changing the point coordinates for start and end only a single pixel is drawn at 0,0 of the Mat. The lines and rectangles seem to ignore any combination of coordinates I give and always result in this strange result. Here is some code:

Mat color_origImg = Highgui.imread("/Users/jamescharters/Downloads/sample_0_bw_hog-rect.jpg");
Core.line(color_origImg, new Point(50,50), new Point(10, 100), new Scalar(255,0,0), 1);
Highgui.imwrite("/Users/jamescharters/Downloads/sample_0_bw_hog-rect.jpg", color_origImg);

The image is definitely being read in correctly but I can't for the life of me figure out why plotting lines, rectangles or other sorts of shapes on a Mat object doesn't work as expected. I've tried black and white images, using CvtColor too ... all to no avail.

Can anyone offer some advice?

Possible you are reading it in as a 3 channel color image, and the drawing functions assume a single channel mat element. (just a guess here) Can you try reading your image as grayscale image? Then apply the drawing? If this works, to keep your color image, split the channels first, draw, then recombine. But it seems strange to me .. I thought we could draw on 3 channel images without problems...

Hi Steven, thank you for the reply. I've tried reading the image in as greyscale and drawing. No luck so far!

It is actually pretty weird. I am doing the exact thing and it seems to work for me. However I am using the C++ interface and haven't tested the Java API jet. So no idea what to expect. I will post some dummy code on how I do this in C++.

// Create a dummy container for copying the original frame into Mat image_copy; // Copy over the image data image_original.copyTo(image_copy); // Draw the rectangle onto the copy rectangle(image_copy, Point(roi_x0,roi_y0), Point(x,y), CV_RGB(255,0,0)); // Renew the window with the image imshow(window_name, image_copy);

Hi Steven, thanks so much for the C++ example. I will try this approach in both C++ and Java myself and report back on what the results are shortly

Hi Steven, sorry for the late reply. Your approach in C++ works as expected, but the JVM segfaults for some reason when I run the Java equivalent. I will do a bit more investigation tomorrow when I have some time...

Okay, if the problem keeps existing, making a bug report with details over your trials can help us solve problems :)

Yep I definitely will. Thank you for the timely help and advice with this issue!
