In my project i already have camera output in a buffer

ProcessFrames(unsigned char *RefFrame,unsigned char *CurrentFrame, int width,int height)

{


    IplImage *ReferenceImage = cvCreateImageHeader(cvSize(width,height),IPL_DEPTH_8U,1);
    IplImage *CurrentImage     = cvCreateImageHeader(cvSize(width,height),IPL_DEPTH_8U,1);
    IplImage *ResultImage       = cvCreateImageHeader(cvSize(width,height),IPL_DEPTH_8U,1);
   // my camera input is Grey so i keep all at same depth 
    cvSetData( ReferenceImage, RefFrame, width );
    cvSetData( CurrentImage, CurrentFrame, width ); // fine until here 

    cvAbsDiff(ReferenceImage, CurrentImage, ResultImage); 
           // here is the culprit for crash  
          // can somebody point what is going wrong here    

//finally i do this 

        cvReleaseImageHeader(&ReferenceImage);
    cvReleaseImageHeader(&CurrentImage);
        cvReleaseImageHeader(&ResultImage);
}

after core dump i get the message

OpenCV Error: Bad argument (Unknown array type) in cvarrToMat
Downloads/opencv-2.4.7/modules/core/src/matrix.cpp, line 698

The line

IplImage *ResultImage       = cvCreateImageHeader(cvSize(width,height),IPL_DEPTH_8U,1);

should be

IplImage *ResultImage       = cvCreateImage(cvSize(width,height),IPL_DEPTH_8U,1);

Or you need to use cvSetData() on ResultImage before passing to cvAbsDiff()

like

cvSetData( ResultImage, CurrentFrame, width );
