I am using OpenCV 2.4.6, I cant test it in the most recent versions, so I thougt it will be just better to place it in here...I am sorry if this was already corrected in the most recent ones.

If I call ellipse() as:

ellipse(image, RotatedRect(Point2f(-78877.320,-79104.328),Size2f(1.0649987e-010f,3.1949962e-010f),0.0f), CV_RGB(255, 0, 0), 1, 8); // OpenCV Bug discovered!

being image a 640x480 image, my program crashes.

ellipse() calls EllipeseEx() who calls ellipse2Poly() who crashes.

ellipse() does:

Point center(cvRound(box.center.x*(1 << XY_SHIFT)), cvRound(box.center.y*(1 << XY_SHIFT)));

which makes center.x and center.y equals to INT_MIN. this way ellipse2Poly() crashes when it tries in it's last line to acessa an empty vector [0] position in:

if( pts.size() < 2 )
        pts.push_back(pts[0]);

since for this case

if( pt != prevPt )
            pts.push_back(pt);

Is never != so the push_back() is never executed.

The code should be changed to

if( pts.size() < 2  && pts.size() > 0 )
        pts.push_back(pts[0]);

So this way, the vector will be never acessed in case it's empty, crashing the program.

I am sorry to not submit this to the repository myself, I just can't upload that code right now.

usually, you'd do a small test case, and go here

and ofc., ayou should check the src code for the 2.4 branch to see if it got fixed in the meantime

Thanks, now there is just a weird behaviour I get in findContours() when I compile it as release...it does a stackoverlow....I cant debug it since it's release, but removing findContours() makes the program run nicely...maybe its a bug in the dll? I wish I could foward this to someone more expert than me to analise it further....but I dont know anyone :/
