Hi every one,

I want to use the SSE instructions with Mat images in opencv, but the problem is that I need to perform memory alignment to 16 bytes (I am working with single chanel images).

I have a version which already works but with malloc and memcpy, but my purpose behind all of this is to remove the malloc and memcpy , since I am targeting embedded systems ,

here is my version

read the img_input (Mat) 
i_step : image step 
i_bpl  : image byte per line we need to get after alignment
 #ifdef __SSE__
       uint8_t *img = (uint8_t*)_mm_malloc(i_bpl*i_height*sizeof(uint8_t),16);
       #else
        uint8_t *img = (uint8_t*)malloc(i_bpl*i_height*sizeof(uint8_t));
  #endif
       memset (img,0,i_bpl*i_height*sizeof(uint8_t)); 
       if (i_bpl==i_step) {
       memcpy(img,m_img_L.data,i_bpl*i_height*sizeof(uint8_t));
       }
        else {
            for (int32_t v=0; v<i_height; v++) {
                memcpy(img+v*i_bpl,img_input.data+v*i_step,i_width*sizeof(uint8_t));
            }
        }

I want to 1. remove the dynamic allocation 2. do 16 bytes alignment for the image

Thanks in advance
