Histogram outputs always same picture

Hi, i have to compute a histogram for two picture. I then made a function to compute histograms of gray images. The problem is that at the end i always get the same histogram result,regardless to the image. This is my code

#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

Mat histo(Mat &src)
{
/// Establish the number of bins
int histSize = 256;

/// Set the ranges ( for B,G,R) )
float range[] = { 0, 256 } ;
const float* histRange = { range };

bool uniform = true; bool accumulate = false;

Mat b_hist;

/// Compute the histograms:
calcHist( &src, 1, 0, Mat(), b_hist, 1, &histSize, &histRange, uniform, accumulate );

// Draw the histograms for B, G and R
int hist_w = 512; int hist_h = 400;
int bin_w = cvRound( (double) hist_w/histSize );

Mat histImage( hist_h, hist_w, CV_8UC3, Scalar(0,0,0) );

/// Normalize the result to [ 0, histImage.rows ]
normalize(b_hist, b_hist, 0, histImage.rows, NORM_MINMAX, -1, Mat() );

/// Draw for each channel
for( int i = 1; i < histSize; i++ )
{
    line( histImage, Point( bin_w*(i-1), hist_h - cvRound(b_hist.at<float>(i-1)) ) ,
                     Point( bin_w*(i), hist_h - cvRound(b_hist.at<float>(i)) ),
                     255, 2, 8, 0  );

}


return histImage;
}

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
    if( argc != 2)
    {
    cout <<" Usage: display_image ImageToLoadAndDisplay" << endl;
    return -1;
    }

    Mat image,grayImage;
    image = imread(argv[1], CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);   // Read the file

    if(! image.data )                              // Check for invalid input
    {
        cout <<  "Could not open or find the image" << std::endl ;
        return -1;
    }

    namedWindow( "Display window", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );// Create a window for display.
    imshow( "Display window", image );                   // Show our image inside it.


    cvtColor( image, grayImage, CV_BGR2GRAY );

    namedWindow( "Gray image", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );// Create a window for display.
    imshow( "Gray image", grayImage );                   // Show our image inside it.

   Mat saturedImage=grayImage;

    for( int y = 0; y < image.rows; y++ )
    {
        for( int x = 0; x < image.cols; x++ )
        {
            saturedImage.at<uchar>(y,x) = saturate_cast<uchar>(saturedImage.at<uchar>(y,x)+50) ;
        }
    }


    namedWindow( "Image3", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );// Create a window for display.
    imshow( "Image3", saturedImage );                   // Show our image inside it.

// Gray picture Histogram
    namedWindow("calcHist Grey image", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
    imshow("calcHist Grey image", histo(grayImage) );

 //Satured image histo
    namedWindow("calcHist Satured image", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
    imshow("calcHist Satured image", histo(saturedImage) );


    waitKey(0);

    return 0;
}

Your gray image and saturated image are the same.

Mat saturedImage=grayImage;

This does not copy the image. saturatedImage points to the same data.

Mat saturatedImage;   
grayImage.copyTo(saturatedImage)

This should work if Im not mistaken

Thank you very much!! is working now.....but..how can that affect the histogram???

In your original version, saturatedImage is exactly the same as grayImage. So if you modify the saturatedImage, you also modify the grayImage -> histogram is the same. You need to explicitly copy grayImage to solve this.

Ok now is clear!! That helped a lot!! thank you very much :)

The histogram is calculated on the same data - thus it has also the same output The assign-operator in Mat saturatedImage=grayImage does NOT copy the data it just creates another Mat-header around the same set of data. Since you calculate the histogram of the grayImage AFTER you did the saturation-cast-stuff, the histogram is already calculated on the saturated data. Try to move the line imshow("calcHist Grey image", histo(grayImage) ); before Mat saturedImage=grayImage;, then it should also work with your original code (but it's not what you intend to achieve ;))
