segmentation fault on iplimage

hvn
1 ●1 ●3

Hi,

I have this piece of code that compiles well but ends with segmentation fault:

IplImage* image_in;    
cv_bridge::CvImagePtr cv_im_ptr;   
image_in->imageData = (char *) cv_im_ptr->image.data;

So far I fail to see why this goes wrong. Hints and suggestions welcome.

really, they're trying to get rid of the c-api since 2010

You have not allocated any space for your image_in. Replace the first line with:

IplImage * image_in = new IplImage;

But it will be better to use cv::Mat instead of IplImage.

hey, not new, but cvCreateImage(...) , it's C !

OK, thanks. However, both with "new IplImage" and "IplImage* image_in = cvCreateImage(cvSize(320, 240), 8, 1);" I get the same error.

The manual says that you should not assign imageData directly. Please check http://docs.opencv.org/modules/core/doc/old_basic_structures.html?highlight=iplimage#IplImage. Also, you seem to be modifying the address pointed to by imageData. That is not correct either.
