I have been successful in inserting text on to the big image but when it comes to inserting an image on to the big image, i am failing again and again. Here is my code of inserting text on to the big image:

int fr=1,i=1;
char name[20],s[20],smiley[20];
Mat image;
while(fr<=751)
{
sprintf(name,"images/img%u.jpg",i);

image = imread(name,CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);   // Read the file

if(! image.data )                              // Check for invalid input   
{
cout <<  "Could not open or find the image" << std::endl ;
return -1;
}
if((i>=1 && i<=100)||(i>=201 && i<=300) || (i>=401 && i<=500)||(i>=601&& i<=700))
{
putText(image, "HAPPY", cvPoint(80,80), 
FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX_SMALL, 1, cvScalar(800,800,950), 1, CV_AA);
}
if((i>=101 && i<=200)||(i>=301 && i<=400) || (i>=501 && i<=600)||(i>=701&& i<=800))
{
putText(image, "SAD", cvPoint(80,80), 
FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX_SMALL, 1, cvScalar(800,800,950), 1, CV_AA);    
}
sprintf(s,"pic/img%u.jpg",i);
imwrite(s,image);
fr++;
i++;
}
namedWindow( "Display window", WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );// Create a window for display.
imshow( "Display window", image );                   // Show our image inside it.

waitKey(0);                                          // Wait for a keystroke in the window           
return 0;

}

Please help in inserting an image on to the big image.

Hi there,

Let me illustrate this with an example: lets say that you have a small image and you want to insert it at the point (x,y) of your "big image": you can do something like this:

cv::Mat small_image;
cv::Mat big_image;
...
//Somehow fill small_image and big_image with your data
...
small_image.copyTo(big_image(cv::Rect(x,y,small_image.cols, small_image.rows)));

With this what you are doing is to create a ROI (region of interest) on your big image located at point (x,y) and of the same size as small_image. Then you copy the small_image into that ROI.

Make sure both images are of same type. You cannot copy grayscale image to color image this way.

Does this also work with getRectSubPix-ROIs? Will OpenCV handle the interpolation, when I copy or add to a sub pixel ROI?
