Put decoded base64 data into cv::Mat variable

asked 2015-07-15 08:06:10 -0600

How to decode base64 string and put it into Mat variable. Accually i can decode it using c++ but after that i don't know how to pass it to Mat. I tried searching but didn't find any clear pointed solution(so don't mark as duplicate since there are no solution to this exact question available).

I'm using chrome native messaging and i need to load image data into cv::Mat received through the STDIN.

On client-side image is encoded using javascript dataURL.

P.S:- Please don't suggest PNACL for this since it does not serve what i exactly need.

I f you have decode your data you must have a buffer in memory so I think you can use a mat constructor like Mat::Mat(int ndims, const int* sizes, int type, void* data, const size_t* steps=0)

Could you elaborate more please. with a working example. I'm trying it also but not much clear.

try to put your base64 decoded image into a vector<uchar> bytes, then Mat m = imdecode(bytes, IMREAD_ANYCOLOR);

Two possibilities : Don't use allocated memory copy each pixel in a Mat example image of type CV_16SC1

short *tmp=new short[256*256];
......  

cv::Mat m(256,256,CV_16S);
for (int i=0;i<256;i++)
    for (int j=0;j<256;j++)
        {
        m.at< short >(i,j)=tmp[i*256+j];
        }

and another way use memory still allocated

short *tmp=new short[256*256];
......  

cv::Mat m(256,256,CV_16S,(void *) tmp,AUTO_STEP);

In that case "The external data is not automatically deallocated, so you should take care of it."
