Hello,

I am trying to filter the 16bit grayscale image with 16bit grayscale PSF. I tried cv::filter2D(inputImage, outputImage, -1, psf) where inputImage and psf are originally 16bit grayscale tiff files. But when I tried to convert outputImage using imwrite, it is unexpectedly compressed into 8bit image.

Did I do anything wrong? How can I filter the 16bit grayscale image with keeping 16bit grayscale?

My environment is OpenCV 3.4.1 and Visual Studio 2015.

Here is very simlified my implementation.

auto inputImage = cv::imread(inputFile, IMREAD_ANYDEPTH);
input.convertTo(inputImage, CV_64F);

auto psf = cv::imread(psfFile, IMREAD_ANYDEPTH);
psf.convertTo(outputImage, CV_64F);

cv::Mat outputImage;
cv::filter2D(inputImage, outputImage, -1, psf);

cv::imwrite(outputFile, outputImage);

what is "outputFile" ?

writing CV_64 images is not supported from imwrite(). you probably need a conversion back to CV_16U, and an appropriate image format, like tiff or png

Thank you for great advice. I found if the image type is not supported on imwrite(), imwrite() forcedly converts the image into CV_8U. Converting the type into CV_16U went expectedly. Thanks!
