Hi, I have unsigned data stored in a char[]. The code is:
Mat mat1=new Mat();
mat1.create(640, 512, CvType.CV_16UC1);
mat1.put(0, 0,chararr);
However, put() function does not support this conversion. Is there any other way I can do it? An answer would be appreciated. Thank you.
One of the Mat constructors takes a pointer as an argument.
cv::Mat charMat(640,512,CV_16UC1,chararr);
Note that it does not copy the data, so you may need to do .clone() if your chararr is not going to be sticking around.
Oh, my apologies. It looks like you will want to use either byte or short, depending on which your data actually is. There are put methods for both of those.
Hi, yes thank you. I stored short[] into Mat successfully. Actually, in Java, short data type is signed. In fact java has only signed data type. But what I have stored in my short[] array, is 10-bit unsigned data. Hence, I wanted to use char[] which is the only unsigned type.
Java is not my strong point, but it should be possible to copy the data into a short array bitwise, without doing a conversion. Then it may be called a short, but it's still the same data, and the Mat will treat it that way. The Mat will use it as unsigned short, because that's what you told it to do by declaring it CV_16U.
Also, 10 bits unsigned fit into a 16 bit signed comfortably.
