Hello everyone I want to write code in opencv for reading csv file in opencv. I have csv file(which i directly got from MS excel) and I want to read it and store it in a array. My csv files has 2 rows and 108 colums. How to do that? Thanks in advance!!!

            #include <opencv2\highgui\highgui.hpp>
            #include <opencv2\core\core.hpp>
            #include <opencv2\core\mat.hpp>
            #include <opencv2\imgproc\imgproc.hpp>
            #include<opencv2\features2d\features2d.hpp>
            #include<iostream>
            #include<math.h>
            #include<conio.h>
            #include<fstream>
            #include<sstream>
            using namespace std;
            using namespace cv;
            char filename[80];

             int main()
            {
                ifstream reader;
                Mat vect=Mat::zeros(2,108,CV_8U);
                reader.open("periods of arnold transform.csv");
                //What to do from this onwards???
                return 0;
            }

OpenCV does not contain a builtin file reading system. Just use the C++ interface. Starting from the idea that you are using the ifstream interface and that each row is a new line and the colums are stured by a seperator which is a comma. this code can work for you.

ifstream inputfle("periods of arnold transform.csv");
string current_line;
// vector allows you to add data without knowing the exact size beforehand
vector< vector<int> > all_data;
// Start reading lines as long as there are lines in the file
while(getline(inputfile, current_line)){
   // Now inside each line we need to seperate the cols
   vector<int> values;
   stringstream temp(current_line);
   string single_value;
   while(getline(temp,single_value,',')){
        // convert the string element to a integer value
        values.push_back(atoi(single_value.c_str()));
   }
   // add the row to the complete data vector
   all_data.push_back(values);
}

// Now add all the data into a Mat element
Mat vect = Mat::zeros((int)all_data.size(), (int)all_data[0].size(), CV_8UC1);
// Loop over vectors and add the data
for(int rows = 0; row < (int)all_data.size(); rows++){
   for(int cols= 0; cols< (int)all_data[0].size(); cols++){
      vect.at<uchar>(rows,cols) = all_data[rows][cols];
   }
}

@ steven when i ran above code in vc2010 it is showing error for while(getline(current_line,single_value,',')) and error is no instance of overloaded function getline matches argument list.

That is because you will need to add the proper includes for this to work, because the function does exist.

O I made an error! it should be temp instead of current_line. Adapted the code!

if the data in a cell is more than 255 how can i read and store it?

you will have to increase the size of the matrix

i have float/double values in my csv. How can i read them??

Same way, you simply need to define a seperator from your file, then read in the values and change the type of your matrix in which you will store them.
