I have an image, and a mask. I want to remove the information in the image in the mask area.
cv::Mat plateMat = imgIn(theRect); // theRect is the roi in the input image
cv::Mat plateMsk = cv::Mat::zeros(imgIn.rows, imgIn.cols, CV_8UC1);
cv::fillPoly(plateMsk, shapeContour, 255); // shape contour is marking the region that I want to remove
int yIdx = 0;
for (int i = plateY; i < plateY + plateH; i++)
{
int xIdx = 0;
for (int j = plateX; j < plateX + plateW; j++)
{
if (plateMsk.ptr<uchar>(i)[j] == 255)
{ // I am adding green for better visualization
retImage.ptr<cv::Vec3b>(i)[j][0] = 0;
retImage.ptr<cv::Vec3b>(i)[j][1] = 255;
retImage.ptr<cv::Vec3b>(i)[j][2] = 0;
}
xIdx++;
}
yIdx++;
}
I have done it in for loops, but I think that it is a better way (optimized in OpenCV mode), but right now I have no idea. Can you help me a little?
