resize function returns shifted image columns on OSX Mavericks 64bit opencv 2.4.7

edit

I'm using OpenCV 2.4.7 on OSX Mavericks 64bit.

I installed OpenCV using mac ports

'sudo port install opencv'.

I pointed the search path headers and libraries (respectively) to

/opt/local/include

/opt/local/lib

In the Build phases: I've added the following to the `Link Binary with Libraries' section:

libopencv_imgproc.2.4.7.dylib

libopencv_core.2.4.7.dylib

Builds in Xcode 5 without issues.

I run into problem with the resize function of OpenCV. I tested a scenario where the dst image has the same width and height as the src image. So basically the dimensions were not altered and the returned image is as expected ....

However when I double the width of the image, pixel columns are shifted (like a interlacing/ghosting effect)...

My Objective-C function is as follow:

- (NSMutableArray*) resizeWithPixelData: (NSMutableArray*) pixelData withWidth: (int) width withHeight: (int) height withFactor: (float) resizeFactor withDirection: (NSString*) resizeDirection {

    cv::Mat image(height,width,CV_8UC1); //height, width ... no colours.
    //NSLog(@" %i %i",image.cols,image.rows);
    for (int i = 0; i < image.rows; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < image.cols; j++) {
            cv::Vec3b &intensity = image.at<cv::Vec3b>(i, j);
            for(int k = 0; k < image.channels(); k++) {
                //uchar col = intensity.val[k];
                uint8_t value = [[pixelData objectAtIndex:i*width + j] intValue];;
                intensity.val[k] = (uchar) value;
            }
        }
    }

    cv::Mat newimage;
    //NSLog(@"height %d width %d",height,resizeFactor*width);
    if ([resizeDirection isEqualToString:@"x"]){
        cv::resize(image, newimage, cv::Size((int)resizeFactor*width,(int)height),0,0,CV_INTER_CUBIC);
    }

    NSLog(@" resize width width %i height %i ",image.cols,image.rows);
    NSLog(@" resize width width %i height %i ",newimage.cols,newimage.rows);

    NSMutableArray* resizedPixelData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

    for (int i = 0; i < newimage.rows; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < newimage.cols; j++) {
            cv::Vec3b intensity = newimage.at<cv::Vec3b>(i, j);
            for(int k = 0; k < newimage.channels(); k++) {
                uchar col = intensity.val[k];
                //NSLog(@" %i ",(uint8_t)col);
                [resizedPixelData addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:(uint8_t)col]];
            }
        }
    }
    return resizedPixelData;
}

Much appreciated if anyone can point out a fix for this problem.

Is it the current version of opencv?

Is the call to the resize function incorrect?

Incompatibility with Xcode/OSX/Mavericks?

The above function is in a .mm file, (i.e. objective-C plus plus).

Cheers
