Segmentation fault when cv::Mat is constructed by Image buffer and not by VideoCapture::retreive

When I add to a buffer (a Qt QQueue) a cv::MAT that gets acquired using function

Mat grabbedFrame;
videoCapture.retreive(grabbedFrame);

the image gets dequed and cloned just fine.

When I create a Mat using the constructor below

Mat PylonToOpenCvImage = cv::Mat(ptrGrabResult->GetHeight(), ptrGrabResult->GetWidth(), CV_8UC1, (uint8_t *) pylonImage.GetBuffer());

trying to deque and clone gives a segmentation fault....

But Using

cv::imshow()

both images can be viewed....

What could be wrong? What are The differences between the grabbedFrame variable ant the PylonToOpenCvImage one.

The seg fault seems to be here

Mat Mat::clone() const
{
    Mat m;
    copyTo(m);
    return m;
}

at the copyTo(m) function from mat.inl.hpp. Although please don't take it for granted

Also sometimes I get the following

what(): /build/opencv-iC2m9y/opencv-3.2.0+dfsg/modules/core/src/matrix.cpp:522: error: (-215) 0 <= roi.x && 0 <= roi.width && roi.x + roi.width <= m.cols && 0 <= roi.y && 0 <= roi.height && roi.y + roi.height <= m.rows in function Mat

regards

The "sometimes" errors are a clue. Your code fails sometimes because there are errors somewhere. I'd start putting checks for every function call, starting with verifying that pylonImage is valid, before doing anything with it. More often than not, programmers that use OpenCV fail to check their variables and operations in any way, resulting in very flaky code.

pylonImage is valid, because I can see the ouput with imshow() function Also I don't know how to check if two separate mat are equal, but not necessarily having the same image.... I don't know if that makes sense

if you use the Mat constructor with an external data pointer, no image data will get copied (a shallow copy), as soon as your pointer from pylon gets invalid, you have a "dangling pointer" inside the Mat

you should reverse the order of operations -- first clone() the Mat, then add it to the queue
