Hello,

I am making a simple app that was built from the face detection sample of the OpenCv4Android SDK. Basically my goal is to overlay or replace the detected face with another image like a smiley or a face of a dog, etc.

I tried to use copyTo(Mat dest) where dest is a submat of the entire image (basically the detected face region) and the Mat from which copyTo is called is the image to overlay or replace. This doesn't work though.

Can someone provide alternatives? Or maybe my understanding of copyTo is wrong? Hoping for some advice. Thanks and best regards,

Mat capturedImage = Highgui.imread(<path/to/captured/image>) 
Mat selectedArea = capturedImage.submat(mDetectedFace) //mDetectedFace is a Rect object Mat replaceImage = Highgui.imread(<path/to/replacement/image>)

replaceImage.copyTo(selectedArea); 
Highgui.imwrite(<path/to/save/directory>, capturedImage)

CODE THAT I USE - for clarity -

Mat capturedImage = Highgui.imread(<path/to/captured/image>) 
Mat selectedArea = capturedImage.submat(mDetectedFace) //mDetectedFace is a Rect object  Mat replaceImage = Highgui.imread(<path/to/replacement/image>)

replaceImage.copyTo(selectedArea); 
Highgui.imwrite(<path/to/save/directory>, capturedImage)
