Hi, I am new to opencv. What I would like to know is how I can clip a raster data within a polygon (not rectangle) using c++. I.e. Dem data within province border.

Regards

Cropping out ( or extracting) spatial raster data within a polygon.

you can't. "cropping" means - cut out a rectangle along the axes of the image dimensions.

so -- what do you want / need ? (please try to refine it)

think of it -- how would "clipwith a raster data within a polygon" result in an "image" ?

also: "clipping" usually refers to retaining a pixels value to some e.g. [0..255] range, certainly not , what you wanted.

How about, masking data out of polygon? Or giving null values to data corresponding to out of polygon ?
