I have a Mat. I want to change the order of its rows, based on the value of their first element. So a row that begins with 1 will be placed before a row beginning with 2 etc. If two rows begin with the same number, I want to keep their original order.
Is there a simple way to achieve this ? I would be very grateful if someone help me.
yes, with cv::sortIdx it shouldn't be too difficult and work similar to (I haven't tested it - but you should get the spirit):
//get first column
cv::Mat one = your_mat.col(0);
// sort the first column and save indices in dst
cv::Mat1i idx;
cv::sortIdx(one, idx, cv::SORT_EVERY_COLUMN + cv::SORT_ASCENDING);
// now build your final matrix
cv::Mat result(your_mat.rows, your_mat.cols, your_mat.type());
for(int y = 0; y < your_mat.rows; y++){
your_mat.row(y).copyTo(result.row(idx(0,y)));
}
//get first column
cv::Mat one = your_mat.col(0);
// sort the first column and save indices in dst
cv::Mat1i idx;
cv::sortIdx(one, idx, cv::SORT_EVERY_COLUMN + cv::SORT_ASCENDING);
// now build your final matrix
cv::Mat result(your_mat.rows, your_mat.cols, your_mat.type());
for(int y = 0; y < your_mat.rows; y++){
your_mat.row(idx(0,y)).copyTo(result.row(y)); //correction here
}
The idx should indeed be on the left side, although muglikars answer game me an exception. For me the correct line there was:
your_mat.row(idx(y)).copyTo(result.row(y));
This did sort correctly, the answer of Guanta (the current most upvoted answer) gave me weird sortings.
