I'm trying to use cv::minMaxLoc to find minium and maximum values and points in a one-dimensional array but I can't compile the source.

void main(void)
{
    cv::Mat array1D = cv::Mat(1, 800, CV_32FC1, cv::Scalar(0));
    double minVal;
    double maxVal;
    int minIdx;
    int maxIdx;
    // ....
    // putting an image projection to array1D and I can draw and view it's histogram
    // ....
    cv::minMaxLoc(array1D, &minVal, &maxVal, &minIdx, &maxIdx);
}

But I'm getting, error C2665: 'cv::minMaxLoc' : none of the 2 overloads could convert all the argument type when I change the cv::minMaxLoc line to cv::minMaxLoc(array1D, &minVal, &maxVal);, there is no error. I also tried casting the idx addresses with (int *) and also tried too cv::minMaxLoc(array1d, &minVal, &maxVal, &minIdx, &maxIdx, cv::Mat()) and result is same.

i guess, you wanted minMaxIdx() , not minMaxLoc()

Have a careful look at the documentation. The data type of the minIdx and maxIdx has to be a Point when using a Mat input. Therefore, your code will work if modified as follows:

void main(void)
{
    cv::Mat array1D = cv::Mat(1, 800, CV_32FC1, cv::Scalar(0));
    double minVal;
    double maxVal;
    Point minIdx;
    Point maxIdx;
    // ....
    // putting an image projection to array1D and I can draw and view it's histogram
    // ....
    cv::minMaxLoc(array1D, &minVal, &maxVal, &minIdx, &maxIdx);
}

As you're using a one-row matrix, just discard the returned y-coordinates of the Points and use the x-coordinates

I didn't look at documentation but in the function prototype core.hpp just pasting it without any changes CV_EXPORTS void minMaxLoc(const SparseMat& a, double* minVal, double* maxVal, int* minIdx=0, int* maxIdx=0); at line 3629. But there is another one too as your said. Anyway thanks..

That is for sparse matrices, it won't work with normal matrices ;)

you can use function: void minMaxLoc(InputArray src, CV_OUT double* minVal, CV_OUT double* maxVal=0, CV_OUT Point* minLoc=0, CV_OUT Point* maxLoc=0, InputArray mask=noArray()); and note that the function don't work with multi-channel arrays, so you should use function Mat:reshape() to reinterpret the arrays as a single-channel.
