Hi!
I have about 3500 tiff files (unsigned 16bit, 2048 x 2048) stored in a directory. I wrote a c++ program to read the files using the imread function in a for loop. When I compile and run the program I am finding that the for loop runs nice and fast up to a certain point and then suddenly slows down to a bit of a crawl.
To be more specific, I declare a cv::Mat object before the loop and the Mat is just reallocated during each iteration. In other words I can't see how it could be a memory issue (I don't see my RAM usage increasing during run time).
Here is what the offending code looks like:
std::vector<cv::String> filenames;
cv::glob(path, filenames);
cv::Mat im;
for (size_t i = 1; i<(filenames.size()); i++)
{
im = imread(filenames[i], CV_LOAD_IMAGE_ANYDEPTH);
std::cout << i << std::endl;
}
I am using openCV 3.4 and Visual Studio 2017 in release mode.
Can anybody help?
