(Android emulator + OpenCV)

I'm using the android camera app to take a picture. I am successfully able to get the newly taken picture bitmap and display it:

Bitmap theImage = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");

but now i need to get an Mat out of the picture. For that, i've been using a simple line:

Mat a = Highgui.imread("data");

I've testing it and it is always empty! How can i reach the picture then? Reaching a gallery photo would be fine as well but i don't know how.

Thanks

Maybe this is what you are looking for:

Bitmap theImage = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");

Mat theImageMat = new Mat();
Utils.bitmapToMat(theImage, theImageMat ); // converts some Bitmap to some Mat

imread() is used to read an image file from the file system directly to a Mat object.

bitmapToMat() is to convert an existing Bitmap object to a Mat object.

As per OpenCV ref man or even OpenCV JavaDoc:

The function imread loads an image from the specified file and returns it.

The string "data" doesn't look like a correct file path in a file system. You need to search the internet on discovering Android Gallery and Camera-taken-photo files paths...
