drawContours vector<Point>

Hello forum,

I have a vector of class Object , each containing a single contour.

vector<Object> People;

Class Object {

private:
vector<Point> contour;

public:
vector<Point> get_Contour { return contour; }
};

I am having problems trying to draw the contour using the drawContours function

for (int i = 0; i < People.size(); i++)
            drawContours(display, People[i].get_Contour(), -1, Scalar(255, 255, 255), 1, 8, noArray(), 2147483647 , Point());

OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (i < 0) in cv::_InputArray::getMat_, file C:\builds\master_PackSlave-win64-vc12-shared\opencv\modules\core\src\matrix.cpp, line 1151

How its done in the tutorial is that a vector< vector< Point>> is passed. However I only have one contour, a vector< Point>. I hope I can get some help on this.

may be you can use polylines instead of drawContours

polylines(display, People[i].get_Contour(),true, Scalar(255, 255, 255));

Hello, thanks for the reply. However, I need to be able to offset ( Point(x,y) ) the contours as it's coordinates / midpoint is calculated by another function, Do you think I should just use vector<vector<point>> contour but with only 1 contour stored ?

Yes it works too like this

vector<vector< Point> > c;
c.push_back(People[i].get_Contour());
drawContours(display, c, -1, Scalar(255, 255, 255), 1, 8, noArray(), 2147483647 , Point());

did you try in the original code instead of using -1 for the idx parameter to use the i from the People's size. Moreover, why your maxLevel parameter is set to so high value (i.e. 2147483647)?

your design looks broken. what's the need for an Object class ?

Like @berak said, I am more convinced that you are making a huge design mistake by wrapping it inside the object class. There is about ZERO need for that right?

Te second parameter is supposed to be InputArrayOfArrays whereas you have made it into a single vector. You should change it back to a std::vector<std::vector<cv::Point> and it should work.
